★Author: Kazuo Uemura★Format: A5★Number of pages: 500★Binding: Velvet soft cover/shrink film exterior with sticker★Price: 2,800 yen + tax ★Published by Mandarake Publishing Department ISBN978-4-86072-097-1 C0979 "Divorce Club"------ It's a place to let out your tears when you're sad or lonely------ All the girls working at the bar, including the 25-year-old proprietress, Yuko, have been divorced. Yuko, the owner of the store, leaves her three-year-old daughter in the care of her mother and always hides her tears under makeup while running the store. She thinks about the bar, her daughter, her ex-husband who is tying her up, and Ken-chan, the bartender who has feelings for her. "Divorce Club," which depicts in a straightforward manner the Nichijou life of a woman living as a nightlife lady in Ginza, was serialized in Manga action from October 1974 to August 1975, following two other masterpieces, "The Dousei Jidai" and "Crazy Relationships." Only one volume was released at the time, with the remaining three-quarters remaining unpublished, but this elusive masterpiece is now being released in two volumes as the long-awaited second installment of Kazuo Uemura's Bibliotheque! "Divorce Club" was written at the same time as "Flowers of Evil," the first Bibliotheque release to receive rave reviews. In contrast to "Flowers of Evil," which depicts a gruesome scene of hell, "Divorce Club" depicts the ordinary everyday lives of ordinary people in the poetic style that is unique to Kazuo Kamimura, a work that has received tremendous support from fans, and who have eagerly awaited the full-length book to be published. Forty years after its first publication, the complete version of "Divorce Club" is finally available! |
