Kunito Tsurita was the pioneering alt manga artist whose publication ushered in a new era of graphic storytelling. Though her work may not have aged as well as some of her contemporaries, it is a testament to a particular moment in time and should be considered as such. It bears the mark of a young artist still honing their craft, and the circumstances of Tsurita's life - marred by terminal illness - are evident in the often dark and wistful nature of her work. The collection, accompanied by a critical introduction, is a valuable addition to any historian's library. However, for the casual reader, Tsurita's work may be of more historical interest than aesthetic enjoyment.
