Hot or cold, plain or miso, from fancy fusion creations to humble roadside takeout, ramen is truly a beloved food, one that can give rise to fierce loyalty or fiercer criticism (not to mention the occasional fistfight). In this volume of Oishinbo, Yamaoka and company inquire into the 'soul of ramen,' from the flour used in the noodles to the chickens used in the broth. And where there's ramen, there's gyoza: little dumplings made with a variety of fillings and served as a side dish. Will Yamaoka be able to create an 'ultimate' gyoza before Kaibara creates a 'supreme' one?" -- Call no.: PN6790.J33H327 O41306 2009 ----------------------------------------------------- Sake / story by Tetsu Kariya ; art by Akira Hanasaki ; translation, Tetsuichiro Miyaki ; touch-up & lettering, Kelle Han. -- San Francisco : VIZ Media, 2009. -- 255 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. -- (Oishinbo, a la Carte) -- "For centuries different types of sake have played the same roles in Japan as wine and beer have in the West, from inexpensive everyday drink to refined single-batch rarities.

Mezzo and Pirus, previously best known in Europe for a series of cynical, brutal gangster stories, have abandoned their guns and gals for this cycle of suburban stories, but in King of the Flies the violence has just (for the most part) been interiorized. King of the Flies first appears to be a series of unrelated short stories, each starring (and narrated by) a different protagonist, but it soon becomes obvious that these seemingly disparate episodes weave together to form a single complex narrative, with events that are only glimpsed (or even referred to) revisited from different perspectives revolving around Eric, a ne'er-do-well, drug-taking teenager at war with his stepfather and, apparently, the whole world.

He finally lands a big case, finding the missing daughter of a drug kingpin, just as he's taken by the symptoms of a late-stage brain tumor. Memories blend with reality, as the missing girl case starts to seep into the memory of his own missing wife from 20 years prior.
