Ikuemi Ryou's My Boy Back Home (1991)
After 2 years, we bring you another Ikuemi Ryou manga. But this time, it's a stand-alone story. Ikuemi Ryou's style is very realistic and has its own flavor. You can feel it in the dialogue, in the pacing, in the characters... There's a certain dynamism in her work, the narration and the characterization don't feel stiff and generic. It doesn't feel like she "created" this story, but these kids exists and we are just having a peek at their lives.
I urge you you take the time to look at all the background text in this oneshot. Not only they killed poor shielshi, but they also add a lot to the atmosphere of the manga. You can feel that you are in an actual classroom with all that background noise!
This was one of the first projects we picked up when Attolia and I started Seldom Scans on the side, and we were supposed to release it some time after Obake Tango. With everyone's permission, I want to get emotional here...
As usual, get it directly from the oven or read it here. We have uploaded it under Mitsumete Itai, because My Boy was included in its second volume and we want to make life easier if anyone wants to get a Japanese copy. Which you should. Because being into older manga means you must hoard all the manga.
Please listen to this song to elevate your manga reading experience.
