It is the early 1970s; The eve of manga’s golden age. Mitsuru Adachi, 19 years old. Tsutomu Adachi, 22 years old. Takeshi Arima, 16 years old. The wild, shared life of three young manga enthusiasts, who were still nobody at the time, was about to begin. Centered on Tsutomu Adachi—the man who made Mitsuru Adachi a manga artist and his older brother— Takeshi Arima, author of Ren-chan Papa, depicts a coming-of-age ensemble drama about men who staked their lives on manga! An unprecedented, true-to-life story of manga artists’ youth. (Source: Shogakukan)
