Kyonen no Yuki

Synopsis

Mangaka Eiichi Muraoka reflects on his life as a manga artist spanning more than 50 years. In this sad but beautiful memoir of the Showa-era manga artist's youth, he captures the unforgettable radiance of a single moment in time, as he interacted with people he hasn't seen again and those he can never see again. "It has been more than 54 years since I made my debut at the age of 19. I had some unfinished business, and I suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that left me paralyzed on the right side of my body, so I had to quit drawing. However, the warmth of everyone's voice led to my unexpected journey home. I'm truly grateful. Thank you." - September 2nd, 2023 Eiichi Muraoka (Source: Shounen Gahousha, translated) Note: Originally self-published, was then licensed and compiled by Kadokawa for commercial release on September 14, 2023.
