While mostly known as a pioneer of cinematic paneling and close attention to realism, it would be more accurate to consider gekiga as a counterculture. Surrealistic, autobiographical, and experimental works emerged as an alternative to the Tezuka school of aesthetics and paved the way for other artists to different modes of expression. Heta-uma (ヘタウマ or ヘタうま) is a Japanese underground manga movement started in the 1970s with the magazine Garo. Heta-uma can be translated as "bad but good", designating a work which looks poorly drawn, but with an aesthetically conscious quality, opposed to the polished look of mainstream manga. As the title says. I have plenty more to add and some which don't have MAL entries as well. Will update those here at a later date. Enjoy! Honestly, MAL must hate Gekiga - so many great titles are simply non-existing. I struggled a bit and got frustrated over that. Will edit and change some titles at another date (as I always say with my lists, hopefully I will really get to it). |
