Seikatsu

A manga about  people who form a group to enact vigilante justice against wrongdoers in their city.

I’m a huge fan of Shigeyuki Fukumitsu and while he’s most known for his autobiographical work about his wife, I always enjoy most of his fictional work like this one.

I really liked how the story focuses on these individuals who feel the need to punish petty injustices like rude people talking loudly on the train. Their group eventually grows into a large organization that maintains the peace of the community but corruption ends up getting the original members ostracized. It’s a pretty common story line but Fukumitsu has a really unique way of drawing action scenes so that carried me through til the end of the book.

Also Fukumitsu must really like hammers as a weapon because this isn’t the first manga I’ve seen him use them in.
