Gomanism

Declaration, (ゴーマニズム宣言 Gomanism Sengen, Go-Sen for short), ongoing since 1992, is a Japanese political memoir with illustrations.

Context

Gomanism is notable for two reasons. First, the author was nearly assassinated by Aum Shinrikyo after he criticized them. Second, the author is an extremely intelligent conservative, and has thus been caricatured as a hostile force in the New York Times and other overseas publications, and "deconstructed" by angry foreign academics. Note that neither of these things reflect any popularity of his ideas in Japan. On the contrary, Japan is likely the most liberal country in the world; reading through Gomanism you will get a taste of this.

If you consider yourself an intelligent person, I recommend this comic to you. It has a lot of text and many funny pictures.
