ILL GIVE IT MY ALL TOMORROW TP (2025)

"By Shunju Aono Synopsis: This is the story of a forty-year-old salary man who quits his job to pursue his dream of becoming a manga artist-and the family that has to put up with him. While not terribly unhappy, Shizuo Oguro can't fight the feeling that something in his life just isn't right, so he walks away from his stable (yet boring) day job to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Unfortunately for his family, this journey also involves playing video games all day while his teenage daughter and elderly father support him. Will Shizuo succeed in creating a true manga masterpiece or will he be just another drop-out living a life of slack?"

"By Shunju Aono Throughout his heretofore unimpressive existence, Shizuo Oguro adopted several different-yet all equally mediocre-personas: phenomenally unintimidating street punk, materialistic yet talentless folk musician, nondescript office worker, and forty-something burger joint employee. Can Shizuo, a man with an unblemished track record for failure, eventually channel his life experiences into a publishable work that will shake the manga industry to its very core, or will he continue to feel the cruel sting of rejection time and time again?"

"(W/A) Shunju Aono Shizuo's in trouble. At least, his father is convinced he is. In his ongoing campaign to convince his layabout, forty-something progeny to finally get his act together, Shizuo's father suggests a new approach: maybe Shizuo should just treat manga as a hobby and do something else--anything else--so as to look like less of a reject to both his family and society at large. Can Shizuo's burning desire to create manga triumph over his seemingly bottomless capacity for self-doubt and existential angst? Then again, maybe if Shizuo just comes up with a catchy pen name, everything will be golden and he'll quickly find himself on the merry road to publication. Right?"

"By Shunju Aono Just as Shizuo Oguro is finally about to make his longed-for debut as a professional manga artist... his editor quits. Although Shizuo's dreams are shattered, he has a shot at redemption: all he has to do is get the new editor to publish him. But how can a 42-year-old, slacker guy convince a 23-year-old, no-nonsense woman to give him a chance? Is it time for Shizuo to finally give it his all?"

"Suzuko Shiro Miyata Unami Ichinosawa What will become of a would-be manga master and his friends? Find out in the final chapter of I'll Give It My All Tomorrow, dedicated to all the stars of this simpatico mid-life crisis comedy."
