This book is a re-arrangement and major addition to "Witness of the Times/Umezu Kazuo: 'Scary!' is the Power to Live," a series of interviews that were serialized in the Yomiuri Shimbun in 2023. It is a "definitive autobiography" filled with unique episodes that have become legendary, told by the author himself while he was alive, and the interviewer (Kanta Ishida) conducted with as much corroborating research as possible. It features beautiful illustrations and horror descriptions that are sure to leave you traumatized. It is not just scary, but also has excellent psychological descriptions and overwhelming storytelling on a cosmic scale. It talks about and explains the diverse "Umezu World" in detail. It also includes valuable color illustrations from the circulated handwritten doujinshi "Manga Exhibition" that was published before his debut. - Taken from the Amazon bookstore's description
