Sound of a Blink
瞬きの音
Mabataki no Oto
This is Shuzo Oshimi's memoir of his own coming of age. At the start the young Shuzo has little to complain about. He is a college student with a steady girlfriend, and a first manga award has just come his way. Then doctors find a brain tumor in his little brother. His brother's illness drags Shuzo back into the knotted family ties he grew up with. The story sets his early career as an artist against that crisis at home. It is a raw and intimate read, so expect it to hurt in places. Readers who know Oshimi from Blood on the Tracks or The Flowers of Evil will feel the same intensity here. It is one of the most personal works he has made.
