Yoshihiro Tatsumi

The Push Man and Other Stories

Nice artwork.

Meh stories, with no meaning whatsoever. Dumb meaning if any that makes no sense. One dimensional characters who half of them don't even talk for some reason, other than to make it seem overdramatic or that the poor character is "obeying orders". Over the top reactions from most of the characters in most of the stories for some dumb reason again.

Kinda dumb, kinda sexist, kinda boring and overall not interesting to read.

Not recommended.

Very odd, mean. A procession of identikit, blank-eyed, hapless guys all suffer, misread, or resent. Most of all they fail to understand sex. Sometimes they do crimes, indifferently or accidentally. But Tatsumi’s delivery of these little scherzos saves them somehow: they’re edgy, yes, but also oddly innocent. How much damage you can do, as an innocent, as a man.
