Originally published in 2021 but thankfully back in a reprint is F, translated and with an essay by the great Ryan Holmberg. 224, standard manga size, half-dustjacket.

“F imagines Fukushima as a kind of Syria in the fallout of the 3.11 disaster, and follows a British journalist’s infiltration of the region while brutal foreign forces strike into the heart of the remnants of northern Japan.

…Though virtually unknown in its home country, Imai Arata’s F is the edgiest work of manga made in the wake of the 2011 disasters. Crossing splintery drawings of the devastations wrought by the tsunami and meltdowns with images sourced from Islamic State propaganda from the Middle East, F trespasses upon many taboos regarding political expression and etiquette in Japan. Originally self-published and sold at avant-garde art exhibitions, Imai’s F is truly underground. It deserves to become a classic.”

Love this one and glad to have it back in stock.
