Major works: Yokai Hunter, Dark Mythology, "Journey to the West: Monkey King", Shiori and Shimoko, Musicians of Musicians, Eguchi Hisashi on Twitter & Azuma Hideo explains Twitter to Moroboshi Daijiro... From his debut until now, he has been releasing new works (almost) without interruption, and although it may seem that nothing has changed, there has actually been a big change since the 1990s (otherwise he wouldn't have been able to continue for so long, Mad Men, the addition of Dark Mythology, etc. are symbolic) Aspiring manga artists who dislike Moroboshi, are bad at drawing, etc. will not sell He is said to be an artist who depicts "the strange and extraordinary that lurk right next to the everyday" A sense of humor that is two sides of the same coin as tension and anxiety Drawings that stimulate the imagination, persistent writing with a round pen● Manga artist Moroboshi Daijiro○ Biography Born in 1949 in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, but moved to Adachi Ward, Tokyo at the age of 51967 Worked as a local government employee at the Tokyo Metropolitan Electrical Research Institute for three years Debuted in 1970 with "Junko Blackmail" in "COM", published short stories in young men's manga magazines such as "COM", "Manga Action", and "Papillon" Winner of the 7th Tezuka Award in 1974 with "Biological City" Serialized "Yokai Hunter" (Jump) 1976-"Dark Mythology", "The Dark Legend of Confucius" 1979-"Mad Men" (Champion) 1983-"Journey to the West: Monkey Legend" (Action) 1996-"Shiori and Shimoko" Representative works and features Early period: debut to 1973 (82) Early period (Jump/Champion period): 1974-82 Middle period (young men's manga period): 1982-95 Late period (good old man period): 1996-present (loosely) compatible with turnip pens, brushes, and round pens?・The question is how manga artist Moroboshi Daijiro was born. He was not part of a manga artist circle or manga research club. Moebius? Tezuka and Bradbury? The art and story have no lineage before this, followers with many influences: Igarashi Daisuke, Tsuru, adjacent but different: Mizuki Shigeru, Ebisu, Hanawa, Umezu Kazuo・Earliest period: from debut to 1973, actually much later, non-shonen manga work) "Junko Blackmail" The theme was "youth's despair", which was common in seinen manga at the time, it's like an ATG film, the cinematic composition, panel layout, and dialogue were already perfected by this time. Was the original material Adachi Ward (Arakawa: Me and Julio) and the civil servant experience (Kafka)? Adachi Ward in the 1960s and 1970s, the period of high economic growth and the downtown area, nostalgia for all Japanese people (not ALWAYZ, but reminiscent of the original version of Sunset on Third Street) The period of high economic growth and the civil servant/corporate slave era The dullness of work as a civil servant The biggest source of inspiration for his early works: Adachi Ward Short stories such as Children's Play and Statue of Anxiety, despair + Adachi Ward "Adam's Rib" Sci-fi short stories also have the theme of Adachi Ward (+ sex), sci-fi and horror/fantasy stories are inseparable "Dr. Dodoyama Series", "Zepitta Series" Another line is comedy and gag. Already at this time, he was able to write (SF) gags "Alligator" Horror and gags were on a fine line Early period (Jump Champion period): 1974-78 The impact of "Biological City" A few years before Alien, a SF writer was surprised that there was an untranslated original story Reading it now, it seems like a common story, Human Instrumentality Project, I Am a Hero, but the storytelling that expands the perspective from children to society and the world is excellent (you could also say logical), and the illustrations have not aged at all The theme of "despair for the world" is the same, but the people who have been taken over by the machines seem surprisingly happy (The End of Childhood, Blood Music, Human Evolution SF), and the boy's final words add humor, it is a truly well-made SF "Yokai Hunter" With ghost hunter Hieda as the narrator, and a boy and a middle school girl, it is actually a solid adaptation into a boys' manga Since the first chapter is based on the Kojiki, it seems that this is where he started studying folklore and cultural anthropology Surprisingly unprincipled original Hiruko, original Dali's premonition of civil war, Osomatsu-san is also watching, a terrifying masterpiece that transcends time, "The Tree of Life", which adds "biography" to the previous "despair" and "science fiction", and the humor of traveling between this world and the next, or being on the border, the phantom final episode, "The Dead Return", "Professor Munakata" is completely under this influence, "Dark Myth", interesting even if you don't understand it, not the growth of the main character, but a bizarre fantasy that unravels the secrets of the world, the amazingness of Yamakado Takeru, a junior high school student reincarnated as Yamato Takeru, a Japanese mythological version of the Da Vinci Game, destined to become "Atman", the one chosen by Brahman, the truth of the universe. →It's so Jump-like! "Yamataika" is completely under this influence. Middle period (young adult manga period): 1979-95. Rich erotic depictions, eroticism that will get your dick dirty (indigenous eroticism). "Mad Men" (Champion), "Shokai Shii", Young Jump version of "Yokai Hunter" also increased his knowledge of cultural anthropology + SF + sociology, and the cleverness of the structure of a series of stories and omnibuses, such as "From a distant country" and "Zepitta", which became sequels and series of early short stories. Deepening of the structure. Finally, he made it into a long work and his life's work, "Saiyuu Yoen Den" began to be serialized. It was clearly the growth and peak of his career as a writer, and it was from this period (around the beginning) that Hayao Miyazaki, Haruomi Hosono, Hideaki Anno and others began to take notice of him. Late period (good old man period): 1996-present "Shiori to Shimoko", "Grimm no You na Monogatari", "Shikaban Zufu" Moved to the outskirts of Inokashira Park. "Despair" is no longer his theme. With his accumulated knowledge, sense, skills (formula), and ample space to spare, is he a substitute for a one-and-only author, becoming stable and stuck in a rut? Did he write a novel because he was ill? "Bio Apocalypse" It's been a while since he's written science fiction, but it's now a genre known as "Morohoshi Daijiro" "Shiori and Shimoko" A light-hearted story of comedy and horror that has become his most popular work, and has been adapted into a TV drama, Mad Men, and dark mythology has been added to "BOX" It's a death game story, and even he feels it's become rutted, so is he consciously trying to challenge himself with a different genre? Characteristics: The appeal is not diminished even if you know the source material, but rather it is terrifying, and it is not poisonous or malicious, but dark and unsettling. The adjacency of horror and comedy as a genre. Earth goddess, upside-down humans, hard, other worlds at the bottom of the earth and beyond the sea (Higan), able to visualize things that cannot be visualized, and pictures that even allow you to imagine them. Humans are not in the eye of Cthulhu-types, no matter what kind of god is interested in humans, it is not a source of information, but a reality that exists within Moroboshi. A rational story that does not collapse as a "strange story", a horror fantasy with a proper meaning (the simplicity of Izanami and Izanagi's escape, the stories without punchlines in Grimm fairy tales seem strange). When it is synchronized with the pictures, it becomes amazing, there is fear and another world next to the everyday, the truth of the world lies at the bottom and end of the other world → If it is written normally it is boring (Inoue Junya), but if it is done with these pictures and frames it becomes shocking.
