●BOOK● OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 2: BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ


This second volume of OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS collects 15 short manga works created by Katsuhiro Otomo from 1974 to 1976 when he was 20 to 22 years old. Most of the stories were previously collected in a book under the same title: BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ published by Kitansha in 1982.
