Isobe Isobee Monogatari: Ukiyo wa Tsurai yo

Also known as: 磯部磯兵衛物語 〜浮世はつらいよ〜, Chronicle of Isobe: The Life is Hard, The Story of Isobe Isobee

by Ryou Nakama

In this ukiyoe-style manga, Isobe Isobee is a lazy, slacker samurai with big dreams. He lives with his mother, who thinks highly of him. He lays around the house, sneakily looks at Edo-period pornography without his mother noticing, naps at school... but he plans to become a respectable samurai one day!
