The City by the Sea: The Manga of Sasaki Maki 1967-81

うみべのまち 佐々木マキのマンガ1967-81

A collection of thirty-seven short stories by Maki Sasaki, originally published in the legendary alternative manga magazine *Garo* between 1967 and 1981. The anthology presents a surreal and often silent world where everyday scenes twist into the bizarre, from seaside towns and wandering horses to dreamlike encounters and absurd debates.

The stories drift through comedy, psychological unease, and deadpan observation. Characters drift through strange landscapes, engage in nonsensical dialogues, or simply exist in moments of quiet oddity. There is no central plot—only a series of vignettes that challenge conventional narrative, inviting readers to find meaning in the gaps between panels.
