Summary:  "Saito Nazuna came to comics late in life, after a long-running stint in editorial illustration for Japanese newspaper Sankei Sports. Her work took her places ranging from the tittilating to the unsavory. These experiences would inform her fiction with the keen sense of humor and unparralelled empathy for faces that otherwise disappear into the crowd. Stories like "Buy Dog Food and Go Home" and "Offshore Lightning" focus on middle-aged men caught in a cycle of self pity and self reflection. Saito gently pokes fun at their anguish and self-involvement while capturing the pathos of these men as they revisit childhood friendships and lost loves. By contrast, "In Captivity" follows three siblings visiting their ailing mother who is succumbing to dementia and resentful at her loss of agency. The siblings take a drive as they reckon with balancing the painful legacy of her caustic personality with attempting to honor this woman at the end of her life. "Solitary Death Building" documents an eccentric cast of elderly gossips as death descends upon the housing complex where they all live." --From publisher. Genre:  Graphic novels. Manga novels. Comic books, strips, etc. Other authors:  Frank, Alexa (Translator). Asakawa, Mitsuhiro.
