Manga Versions of HISAO JURAN’s Fiction Yogen / Kashimashi

In the literary history of the Showa Era, Naoki Prize-winning author HISAO Juran is known for more than novels, being recognized for his ver- satile talent, even in drama and translation. His Yogen and Kashimashi are works brimming with whimsy and fantasy, but written in a mat- ter-of-fact pattern and structure. This style of contrast, uniquely charming in original novels that offer the air of modernism with an artistic telling, is engrained thoroughly throughout these works.
