Tokiwa-so Jitsuroku: Osamu Tezuka and the Youth of Manga Artists - Shotaro Ishinomori, Fujio Akatsuka, Fujiko Fujio A rare record in which a current editor at the time reminisces about the training days of children's manga artists! "Teacher Tezuka ran away!" The back-and-forth between the genius manga artist who escapes from a canned goods inn to a movie theater and the editor in charge, and the hardships of collecting manuscripts... During the boom of postwar children's magazines, the author, as a current editor, nurtured young Shotaro Ishinomori, Fujio Akatsuka, and Hideko Mizuno, and visited their dream fortress, Tokiwa-so. This is a memoir written in the author's lighthearted style. An augmented and revised new edition of "a book that depicts Tokiwa-so exactly as it was" (Hideko Mizuno). Includes a chronological table of related events and short biographies of the characters. Commentary by Kunio Hase. From reviews: A memoir by an editor who watched over and nurtured manga artists of the Tokiwa-so generation, including Osamu Tezuka, Fujio Akatsuka, and Shotaro Ishinomori. About half of the content is related to Osamu Tezuka during the Namiki House era, and while the title is somewhat misleading, I think it's a valuable work that vividly describes the struggles of young manga artists at the time, along with Fujiko Fujio A's "Manga Michi." The efforts of the editors who captured the busy Mr. Tezuka and had him draw manga one after another are completely "black" when you look back on it now, but you can fully feel the energy of the times and the industry, and it feels somewhat dazzling. Is it a little too sentimental to sum it up as "everything was young"?
