Ohikkoshi (Japanese: おひっこし; lit. 'Moving') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroaki Samura. It was published in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Afternoon Season Zōkan from August 2000 to November 2001, with its chapters collected in a single tankōbon volume alongside two other one-shot stories by Samura. It was licensed in North America by Dark Horse Comics.
Overview
[edit]Ohikkoshi is an episodic five-chapter series following a group of art college students in Tokyo. Tono is an everyman who has a crush on the attractive Akagi, who already has a boyfriend that does volunteer work in Zambia; meanwhile, Tono's tomboyish best friend Koba, who performs in a rock band, has a crush on him.
Included in the tankōbon volume are two other unrelated one-shot stories. "Luncheon of Tears Diary (Vagabond Shōjo Manga-Ka)" is about a young shōjo manga artist who has to deal with unhinged demands from her editor that get her work cancelled, followed by a string of many bizarre and unrelated personal tragedies. In the end, she records her experiences in a highly-praised manga named after the story, before shooting her editor as revenge. "Kyoto Super Barhopping Journal (Bloodbath at Midorogaike)" is a semi-autobiographical story of Hiroaki Samura and his editor exploring Kyoto.
