Hayashi Seiichi Mangajutsu

林静一漫画術

Seiichi Hayashi, a legendary figure in Japanese manga and animation, sits down for an in-depth interview series covering his entire creative journey. He recounts his early days as an animator at Toei Animation and his transition into manga artistry, offering rare insights into his process and inspirations. The conversations are led by fellow manga artists Aran Toochika and Tokushige Kawakatsu.

While much has been written about Hayashi's iconic work *Red Colored Elegy* and his contributions to *Garo* magazine, this collection focuses on the lesser-known pieces that followed. Hayashi discusses his pursuit of increasingly avant-garde expression and the charm and mystery of his later works, which have often been overlooked by critics.

To complement the interviews, the book reprints six short stories from this period, including "Yuuutsu na Momoko," "Hana ni Sumu," and "Rat's thinking on the hill," allowing readers to experience the evolution of his art firsthand.
