GEN Manga is Indie Manga from the Tokyo Underground.
GEN Manga was made to give fans an exclusive look at real doujinshi, otherwise known as indie manga, that they had heard about, but until now, unable to get their hands on. In its essence, doujinshi is manga traded among other manga artists. Manga for manga lovers!
Seemingly mundane events twist with an unusual presence of the unreal as the psyche of ordinary people is explored. Depression, time, and thought are redefined. Alive is a collection of melancholy love stories saturated with sadness. Characters struggle to connect with one another but never quite succeed. They are essentially alone. Enter a world that is dark and disturbing - suicide is constantly contemplated and feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and suppressed sexuality surface as identity itself becomes a terribly fragile thing.
Image and Condition Note - We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell. Whether using a stock or our own image, shipped books are usually not the actual book pictured and are a representation of the title and condition. We feel strongly that the shipped book will match the condition in our guideline. We buy books directly from publishers and authorized secondary distributors. The majority of our books are unsold returns from retailers to distributors and have never been purchased by an end consumer. We don't buy books from thrift stores or library sales to resell. All of our books are stored in commercial warehousing in a smoke and pet-free environment.
