Tokyo These Days by Taiyo Matsumoto uses burnout as a medium to talk about life. It's about a manga editor who quits his job and plans to quit manga altogether. But once he has some time to breathe, he realizes he wants to do one last project. By following him and the artists he connects with, Matsumoto uses their lived experiences to ask: What makes life worthwhile? Why do you do the things you do? Why do you love the people and things you love? Woven into all this are deep, nuanced reflections on topics like failure, exploitation, creativity, art vs. profit, and understanding how you influence other people. Ping Pong, also by Taiyo Matsumoto, is probably my favorite anime, and Tokyo These Days may just be my favorite manga/comic. I checked it out from the library, and by the end, I wished I had bought it. I can see myself needing to revisit this story from time to time in my life.
