Description

Blurb:
In 1989, comic artist Hideo Azuma succumbs to the pressures of deadlines and tries (unsuccessfully) to hang himself using the slope of a mountain. He leaves his family, wandering as a dumpster bum looking for scraps of food, cigarette butts or discarded alcohol. After several months he is arrested as a vagrant and returned to his home. He then repeats the cycle in 1992 this time becoming a gas pipe fitter in another town. Later, in 1998, his alcohol dependence is so bad he is forced into rehab. This book is his expression of those three periods of his life told, not in a deep or depressed way but, as befits his nature, in a buoyant and cheerful cartoon art.
Klappentext:
Der japanische Star-Mangazeichner Azuma wirft eines Tages alles hin und zieht als Obdachloser unter eine Plastikplane in den Park. Die Berichte von seinen Abstürzen, auch in den Alkoholismus, sind autobiografisch, aber nicht tragisch. Dazu der Autor: »Dieser Manga nimmt einen positive Weltsicht ein und ist vom Stil her funny, denn zuviel Realismus hält der Mensch nicht aus.«
Texto de presentación:
Diario de una Desaparición es autobiografía, y se basa en las vivencias del autor durante las dos veces que se escapó de casa, llegando a convertirse en un vagabundo, y su posterior lucha por afrontar el alcoholismo gracias a su ingreso en un centro de rehabilitación. Su situación de vagabundo sólo terminó cuando lo capturó la policía (en ambas huídas). Pero en el manga, en lugar de hacer un examen serio del asunto, Azuma se decantó por una aproximación más humorística y menos cruenta.
