To nonaficionados, Japanese comic books, or manga, typically celebrate vampire-hunting beauties or feisty schoolgirls, tentacled monsters or technology-crazed teenagers. But to the graphic artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi and his peers in the late 1950s, they offered an opportunity to explore darker, more sophisticated stories about postwar Japan — stories so adult that they required a brand-new name: gekiga.
In “Tatsumi,” the director Eric Khoo incorporates five of these stories, all written in the 1970s, into an animated tribute that seeks to vivify this artist’s controversial, fearless work. It’s potent stuff, delving into pornography, incest, murder and mutilation in the company of alienated men and unhappy, sometimes cruel women. Resonating with the deeply felt shame of a lost war (Mr. Tatsumi was 10 when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima), these twisted and often touching tales express their author’s rage at a booming economy that failed to lift every boat.
“I vomited it out in stories,” he tells us in the mostly gentle narration that accompanies the film’s biographical segments, excerpted from his autobiography, “A Drifting Life.” Rendered in rather wishy-washy pastels, these segments offer only broad personal details, including how he drew comics at a young age to support his poor family and dealt with the envy of his sickly brother.
By contrast, the moody, mostly black-and-white samples of his art have a tough urgency that leaps from the screen: from the harrowing first story, set in a razed Hiroshima, to the closing tale of a prostitute who has been betrayed one too many times, they mold pulpy drama and moral complexity into a transfixing whole. Capturing the mood of a troubled time, “Tatsumi” is a fine, if frustratingly indistinct, portrait of an artist ripe for rediscovery.

Anime and manga are two very different industries. Creating a seamless moving image is vastly different from laying out a dynamic page composition for a page in a manga. With this in mind, I will cover the different jobs you might take in each industry, and what they would involve.
As a semi-professional manga artist, I have more experience with the rigours and needs of the graphic novel. So let's cover manga first.
THE MANGA INDUSTRY
The benefit of manga is one person can perform all of the following roles, if s/he is talented enough. If your skill lies more in drawing than in writing, however, I suggest you team up with someone.
- The Writer
The writer is responsible for creating the story, characters and script of the manga. Scripts can be as detailed or loose as you like. Some writers like to specify camera-angles for each and every panel, others rely on the artist to create the effect they are looking for.
Getting a job as a writer is relatively difficult: you can try http://digitalwebbing.com/talent or apply to individual small companies such as NDP Comics (http://www.ndpcomics.com/).
- The Artist
The artist is usually responsible for the entirety of the page layout, artwork, and overall 'feel' of the manga. Being able to draw a variety of settings and characters is useful, and being able to sequence art is a skill often overlooked. You should be able to draw a character over and over again.
Grayscale, or colour is usually added by the artist, but can be delegated to another person in some companies, such as TokyoPop.
- The Colourist
Most manga are black-and-white, so the colourist is more likely to apply grayscale. Originally, this was transparent sheets with a dot print that simulated grey that could be stuck onto the art to give it depth. Many artists have switched to digital tones however, which has opened up a lot of new techniques. Photoshop is the tool of choice.
Colour is obviously used for covers and pin-ups. This is the role that I perform, and therefore one I know quite a lot about. The best way to get accepted into a manga team is to create a portfolio showcasing your best work. Black & white work can be found here: http://artcorner.org and here: http://www.frozenlilacs.com/ (Please note that you should ALWAYS credit the original artist)
Most of my work I have found through http://digitalwebbing.com/talent, or by independent people who have found my website. There is a certain amount of luck involved, and you must be prepared for rejection.

I always shake my head at the atheists who complain about the Biblical Jehovah for having wanted to wipe out the various gentiles in and around what is today known as Palestine and Israel. Jehovah was not the one who wanted to use actual virgin girls in his scapegoat rituals like the Hittites. Jehovah was not the one who required young women to lose their virginity as temple prostitutes as in certain times during the history of the Babylonian Empire. Jehovah was not the one who wanted people to actually sacrifice their sons like those worshiping the nastier of the baals (go ahead and talk about Isaac all you want, but at the end of the day, Jehovah provided Abraham with a substitutionary sacrifice, so no one had to die).
If you want to criticize the book of Joshua for being genocidal war propoganda, go for it. But don't go around ignoring the fact that secular archeology and anthropology has demonstrated that these same gentiles were monsters in their own right. Their gods are not the kinds of gods I intend to adore.
