Ohikkoshi

The title story in this collection, Ohikkoshi, is a tale of friendship and unrequited love between a group of university students set against a backdrop of bars, apartments, dates and heavy metal gigs. Luncheon Of Tears Diary (Vagabond Shoujo Manga-ka) is a rather shorter piece - a tongue in cheek story charting the changing fortunes of a female manga artist whose career is derailed by an incompetent editor and a highly problematic lovelife. The omnibus concludes with a brief autobiographical piece - Kyoto Super Barhopping Journal (Bloodbath At Midorogaike) - in which the author takes time out from working on his Blade Of The Immortal manga with an unplanned break in Kyoto.
