Golden Boy - Riding Through The Storm
Golden Boy is a Japanese comedy manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuya Egawa about a 25-year-old "traveling student" and pervert named Kintaro Oe.
The manga was originally serialized in Shueisha's Super Jump starting in 1992, with the first collected volume released the following year. Parts of the manga were adapted into a six-episode original video animation series in 1995.
The series enjoys cult status in the Western world as one of the first animes available tapping into an entirely other direction as Pocket Monsters and Dragonball...
Kintaro, despite having met the requirements for a degree, left Tokyo University without graduating. Golden Boy depicts his living the life of a free spirit, roaming from town to town, job to job. During his travels, Kintaro meets several women whose lives he dramatically changes, despite poor first impressions. He constantly observes and studies the people and events around him, recording his findings in a notebook he carries on his belt.
The anime portrays Kintaro’s wild and most awkward moments and life in a way that leaves the viewer in a desolate and most likely suffering state.
When ‘True Romance’ meets “The Office’ aka “Oh my god, Kintaro, please don’t do it”.
A Sabukaru must watch.
