TOKYO -- It's been 65 years since the debut of "Ashita no Joe" ("Tomorrow's Joe") manga artist Chiba Tetsuya, and his latest work has recently been released -- an autobiographical collection of short comics depicting the progress of postwar Japan from an ordinary person's perspective.
In his new collection "Tetsuya Chiba Short Stories," published by Shogakukan Inc., he also reveals the truth behind an "incident" that put his life as a manga artist in jeopardy. The Mainichi Shimbun interviewed him online and heard his thoughts on the work.
