Alive Tankoubon Available Now

The 284-page complete edition of creator Taguchi Hajime’s underground gekiga manga Alive is now available from GEN Manga. The complete edition compiles all of the chapters of Alive previously published in GEN Manga. The short stories are existential, sometimes dreamlike examinations of human frailty, alienation, lonliness, sexuality, despair, suicide, and periodically the willpower to move on. The collection is free to GEN Manga subscribers or a $2.99 individual digital purchase.
