Overview

\"Oba electroplating factory shows Tsuge reflecting upon his own life, his work, and his contemporaries. While on a trip to hot springs, a wife teases her husband about a former fling: a young cartoonist is aghast at the cavalier conduct of his supposed betters; a child slaves away at a dangerous factory job, unaware of the danger and adult dramas surrounding him. Translated by Ryan Holmber, this volume is an indispensable addition to the literary comics canon and shining example of world literature at its most human. Following his breakthrough success of \"Neijishiki\", Yoshiharu Tsuge forges a path for autofiction in manga and changes the cultural landscape of comics forever. The fourth volume of seven from the celebrated and influential Garo artist, Oba Electroplating Factory contains some of Tsuge's most revealing and personal works--studies in staging nature, working to evoke stillness and movement that renders his chosen setting a character all on its own\"--Back cover.
