Life begins at 40… even for pathetic losers. R to L (Japanese Style). Life begins at 40… even for pathetic losers. Shizuo Oguro is living his dreams… sort of. A complete waste of a human life until now, 40-year-old Shizuo breaks free from the corporate rat race and charts himself a fairly random and new career course: to become a published manga artist. Sure, he lacks the talent, discipline, or any other skill necessary to become a success in the manga industry—but that’s not enough to stop Shizuo! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Somehow, though, it doesn't. This is probably partly because being Japanese makes it fall just far enough away from the cultural markers that really bring the frustration. But also, it's very self-aware. The selfishness that's inherent in the premise is acknowledged and not glossed over; the protagonist is sometimes self-pitying but the narrative doesn't always agree with him, and it's aware of its own ridiculousness with going overboard in to self-congratulation. I think I actually like it. ( )
