Red Flowers

This anthology allows us to see the progression of an author finally freed from the chains of entertainment after 10 years of hardships drawing stories that didn’t correspond to his vision of art, Garo allowing him to use the full extent of his talent. As varied as these stories can be, be it in their style or settings, it forms a rigorous coherent volume and starts an exhibition of drifting people, exiled from society and creates a dramatic background that will be present in all his works.

By depicting these kinds of people, he gets the whole movement of gekiga richer by getting out of the city, getting rid of its darkness to show these people whose destiny seem to echo a lot more within us in that they are devoid of any spectacular elements.
