Yoshihiro Tatsumi plumbs the depths of the lost Japanese youth of the 1970s. Today, ‘youth’ of every age group appreciates Yoshihiro Tatsumi. They are attracted to him because they connect with the struggles and the darkness of modern life which he portrays. .

From Goodreads
The stories are compelling and well-told by Tatsumi with his characteristically powerful focus on humanity… Like Tatsumi’s other collections, Midnight Fishermen is dark but compelling reading by one of the greatest manga creators of all time.
Yohishiro Tatsumi told these stories, often in a raw and simple way. However, some stories are rather complex and the graphics play well with space and perspective… This collection gives a good insight and introduces the world of gekiga to today's readers.
