Heta-uma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heta-uma (ヘタウマ or ヘタうま) is a Japanese underground manga movement started in the 1970s with the magazine Garo.[2] Heta-uma can be translated as "bad but good", designating a work which looks poorly drawn, but with an aesthetically conscious quality, opposed to the polished look of mainstream manga.
Some of heta-uma's main artists are Teruhiko Yumura (pen name "King Terry"),[3] Yoshikazu Ebisu[4] and Takashi Nemoto.[5]
