Yoshiharu Tsuge (つげ義春, Tsuge Yoshiharu; 30 October 1937 – 3 March 2026) was a Japanese cartoonist and essayist. He was active in comics between 1955 and 1987. His works ranged from tales of ordinary life to dream-like surrealism, and often show his interest in traveling about Japan. Tsuge garnered the most attention from the surrealistic works he published in the late 1960s in the avant-garde magazine Garo. Tsuge began producing comics in 1955 for the rental comics industry that flourished in impoverished post-War Japan. Initially, he made comics in the hard-boiled gekiga style–dark, realistic tales with negative endings. When rental comics ceased to be viable employment in the mid-1960s, Tsuge was in dire straits until he was picked up by the publishers of the avant garde comics magazine Garo. From 1965 to 1970, he entered his most widely known phase when he produced often surrealistic and introspective works for Garo. The June 1968 issue saw the most famous of these: the dream-based Neji-shiki (most commonly rendered Screw Style in English). Following his success in Garo, Tsuge became withdrawn, and from the 1970s no longer had his works published in that magazine. His works became alternately autobiographical and erotically fantastic, until health and psychological problems drove him from comics after 1987. He has become a cult figure in Japan. In the West, his status is often compared to that of American cartoonist Robert Crumb. He has had a long-lasting influence, and his works have been adapted to film and television numerous times. His works have rarely been translated–in English, only five short works have appeared. From 1987, he stopped producing comics, and lived a quiet life with his son in Tokyo following his wife's death in 1999, occasionally cooperating with adaptations and reproductions of his past work.
