(comment) From the pasted-on title lettering, typesetting, and even the there is discoloration due to ageing after the placement of the tape, this is not merely a single image, but a manga manuscript that actually went through the publishing process of the Showa era. Combining the echoes of Kashi-hon manga with the depth of Tsuge's expression moving towards autobiographical Reference Materials, this important piece, "Yoshio's Youth," is a long, autobiographical work by Yoshiji Tsuge that depicts the weight of life as a Kashi-hon Manga artist, ambition for creation, poverty, and human weakness through the young manga artist "Yoshio." The title page, clearly marked "Series 3, Final Chapter," depicts a room in a frontispiece(Japanese inn), a woman reflected in a mirror, a bewildered man, and the rough texture of the futon and sliding doors. There, the contradiction of "dreamlike yet reality itself," characteristic of Tsuge's works, is condensed with chilling humor. The poverty of Kashi-hon Manga, the impatience for art, and the comical confusion of youth-this is the original landscape of youth that Yoshiji Tsuge entrusted to "Yoshio."
