  WHOOOO? One of the most renowned manga artists in the industry right now, Noboyuki Fukumoto, born in 1958, is the author of several psychological drama, seinen and mahjong manga. His biggest claim to fame on the west is the long-running Akagi manga, who has been running for almost 25 years and has both a live-action drama and an anime adaptation. The recurring themes in his manga are how money can corrupt people (except for those who still keep strong to their principles), the criminal underworld of the Yakuza, insane gambling evil old magnates, INTENSE MAHJONG GAMES and of course his incredibly distinctive art style >:7) Recommended Reading/Watching Buraiden Gai   Buraiden is my pick for the beginners to his manga since it's only 5 volumes long but has a lot of good stuff! It's about a headstrong and independent teenager down in his luck that is framed in a murder and is sent to a horrifying "reformatory" facility called the "Human Institute". Gin to Kin   Great read! Gin to Kin is about a young man with money problems that spends all of his cash in horse racing. He meets in a fateful encounter a "villainous man" who takes him under his wing and shows him the way of "villany", where shady deals in the underworld engulf him... The Legend of Strongest Man Kurosawa   44 year old Kurosawa is a lonely and awkward guy with no friends, unmarried and just wants to get more popular. Things... Things get worse. Kaiji   Crunchyroll Unlucky loser Kaiji lives like a bum after finishing high school. Living on a lovely house and on welfare, he has no prospects for his future. When a loan shark called Endo visits him and tells him that his outstanding bet can be solved in two ways, gambling on the mysterious ship "Espoir" or working as a slave for ten years, a dark journey awaits him.... Akagi   Crunchyroll (Anime) Crunchyroll (Live Action Drama) Running from 1992 until now, this manga talks about Akagi Shigeru, a mahjong prodigy that since playing for his first time at the age of 13, has become a legend due to his prowess. After defeating several opponents he finally gets to duel completely insane hosed up magnate Washizu Iwao in a deadly mahjong game where THINGS! GO! loving CRAZY! There are also several others! Talk about them if you want to! Plutonis fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Apr 11, 2019 |

Ytlaya posted:My favorite thing about the Fukumoto manga I've read is how they always sympathize heavily with the working class and generally involves a lot of empathy towards people in bad situations. Kurosawa is one of the few media that realistically addresses almost all of the aspects of how hosed up being homeless is.

punk rebel ecks posted:I just can't imagining surviving in a first world country only brining home $300 a month. Hell even the other job he talked about was only $5.74 on average if it was a 40 hour a day job (it's really 60). It only makes sense to me if its mostly a bunch of kids living at home trying to work for two years or so before becoming a freelance professional where they can earn a living pay. that's how it is for many people in 'first world nations' lol. why you think people in fukumoto manga are so desperate for moolah
