OEN

This volume contains works from his entry for Garo in 1966 to his masterpiece "Oen no Koi" in 1972, just before his breakthrough hit Otokogumi in Shonen Sunday.

His overwhelming descriptive power that blossomed in a short period of time has not lost its impact even now. The anger and anger that runs through the entire story. The imagination reaches a boiling point.

The theme is forbidden dreaming. The joy of falling.

An interview with the author is included at the end of the book, giving a closer look at the process of the works.
