『鉄面探偵ゲン』2

This work will then start as a serialized work, but consistently, it will run in the genre of full-scale reasoning manga without blurring its worldview. Speaking of Ishimori's work, many people think of SF and hero works. Times such as "Sub and City Predatory Copy" are also famous, and gag manga is also supported. In such a situation, the reasoning manga is unique.

If you look it up, you may have more, but what else come to mind now are "Omiya" and "Detective Do Clan". If you think about it, in the world of novels, there are literary works and science fiction works, but inferential novels are a much larger field than that. In the case of manga, in recent years, there are "Detective Conan" and "Kaneda Ichi Shonen Case Files". However, in the manga world as much as novels, mysteries seem to be less popular. And back in the 1970s, was this genre quite rare?

常に新しいジャンルや手法を求めて、挑戦する先代らしい作品の一つに、『鉄面探偵ゲン』は数えなければいけないと思います。日本海に浮かぶ、首なし島で起こる難事件に挑む『首なし島の花嫁』。このシリーズに一貫して漂う、田舎、日本の古き伝統や伝奇などの、“和”のティストが、作品全体をこのムードで包み込んで、独特の世界に引き込まれます。切ないラストへの展開も秀逸。他に「野良犬」、最終回の「妖怪」など、泣ける作品で、僕は好きです。
