Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Based on the book "Meiji kenken hikyu roku" by Seigai Ota. Adapted by Natsuo Sekigawa and Jiro Taniguchi.

The Meiji era (1868-1912) was probably the most defining period in Japanese history.

It was a time of massive change from the more traditional Tokugawa era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world.

Contemporary writer, Soseki Natsume, suffered due to all the social and cultural changes, and expressed his feelings through his character Botchan, a classic in the vein of Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. The script explores the period through an adult point-of-view, whilst the art by Taniguchi portrays the material with exquisite and elegant detail.

Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 144 pages, B&W.

NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left.
