Beneath the surface-level perversion, Tatsuya Egawa utilized Golden Boy to address serious socio-political issues: Institutional Critique
If you've spent any time in the anime community, you’ve likely seen the iconic "study" memes or a frantic young man on a bicycle racing a high-end motorcycle. That man is Kintaro Oe, the heart and soul of Tatsuya Egawa's cult-favorite manga series, Golden Boy.
Golden Boy is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki. The series was later adapted into an anime film and a live-action television drama. The story follows the life of Kintaro Sugimoto, a young man who drops out of law school and becomes a gigolo to earn money.
