Children of Mu-Town

Children of Mu-Town

A manga about a small time hoodlum trying to balance his town’s renovation project with pressures from local crime boss alongside his unstable and violent best friend.

We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.

Fantastic manga. I’ve rarely seen themes of gentrification covered in manga but Masumura Jushichi makes it works so well here. This book takes total advantage of the fact that it isn’t a commercial manga release from a major publisher. There’s just something so unique to the mood of independent manga and you get it in spades with this work. Highly recommended for manga fans looking for something different than their usual series.

Pick up a copy from Glacier Bay Books.
