During a high school year opening assembly, Kaede is suddenly embraced by Nomiya, an underclassman transfer student. Nomiya reminds Kaede that they spent a summer together as children and proceeds to do everything in his power to re-enter Kaede's life. Kaede is still shaken by the death of his brother, who may have killed himself from the stress and anxiety resulting from an apparent case of gender dissociative disorder. Kaede is therefore reluctant to grant Nomiya the closeness that the younger boy desires, but, despite his confusion, the two end up becoming close friends - and then something more.

Rannosuke Hanayagi, under the cover of a renowned ikebana school, leads an empire of lust and cruelty. He is a sadist who consumes girls like he consumes cigarette, torturing and humiliating them. Offering his sex-slaves to numerous bigwigs, he then controls both the political and economical world. On day he starts the training of a new girl, Sayuri, with the hope to make her the queen of his empire.

Acclaimed for his visionary short-story collections The Push Man and Other Stories, Abandon the Old in Tokyo, and Good-Bye—originally created nearly forty years ago, but just as resonant now as ever—the legendary Japanese cartoonist Yoshihiro Tatsumi has come to be recognized in North America as a precursor of today’s graphic novel movement. A Drifting Life is his monumental memoir eleven years in the making, beginning with his experiences as a child in Osaka, growing up as part of a country burdened by the shadows of World War II. Spanning fifteen years from August 1945 to June 1960, Tatsumi’s stand-in protagonist, Hiroshi, faces his father’s financial burdens and his parents’ failing marriage, his jealous brother’s deteriorating health, and the innumerable pitfalls that await him in the competitive manga market of mid-twentieth-century Japan. He dreams of following in the considerable footsteps of his idol, the manga artist Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Apollo’s Song, Ode to Kirihito, Buddha)—with whom Tatsumi eventually became a peer and, at times, a stylistic rival. As with his short-story collection, A Drifting Life is designed by Adrian Tomine. *Source: Drawn & Quarterly*
