Goodbye (Spanish Edition)

“The grandfather of alternative Manga” --Time Tetsú is a witless thug who lives off of his girlfriend. He has no profession, no goal. . .One day he will leave, never to return. Mika is a prostitute tormented by loneliness. When at last she finds a man who wants to stay with her, she still feels empty. Yamaguchi and other businessmen have a bet: the one who can guess the number of traffic fatalities the following week gets the money. But what’s the point of money when each accident is a send-off, when each hello is followed by a good-bye. That’s the way Tatsumi paints human lives for us in this masterful anthology of short stories: without sentimentality, without moralizing, with both realism and a sensitivity.
