Second episode is more like it. It doesn't capture some of the great expressions but it is in color and moving.

Opening is pretty decent.

"After that Funasaka lived what seemed to me a rich life, writing autobiography, running a bookstore, assisting local people in Palau Islands, etc. He’s also friends with the novelist Mishima Yukio, and the sword that Mishima used for seppuku was actually a gift from Funasaka."

Wait what.

"Mishima was active as a nationalist and founded his own right-wing militia, the Tatenokai. In 1970, he and three other members of his militia staged an attempted coup d'état when they seized control of a Japanese military base and took the commander hostage, then tried and failed to inspire a coup to restore the Emperor's pre-war powers. Mishima then committed ritual suicide by seppuku. The coup attempt became known as the "Mishima Incident".

"The Mishima Prize was established in 1988 to honor his life and works."

I'm going to hazard a guess the artist of this manga is not a straight man.
