A working class man navigates the crowded city streets in Abandon the Old in Tokyo, a collection of short manga stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi.
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is one of the originators of the term gekiga, combining the words for "drama" and "art." True to form, Abandon the Old in Tokyo is a collection of manga short stories about the grittier, less glamourous side of post-war Japan.
Abandon the Old in Tokyo is also nominated for a 2007 Will Eisner Award in the "Best Archival Collection/Project - Comic Books" category. Abandon the Old in Tokyo is published by Montreal-based Drawn and Quarterly.
The awards will be announced at San Diego Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center on Friday, July 27, 2007.
