Tetsuko no Tabi (鉄子てつこの旅たび, lit. 'Tetsuko's Travels') is a Japanese non-fiction manga series authored by Hirohiko Yokomi [ja] and illustrated by Naoe Kikuchi [ja]. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Monthly Ikki between 2001 and 2006. A 13-episode anime television series adaptation by Group TAC was broadcast in 2007.

Overview

[edit]

Tetsuko no Tabi is a non-fiction series. It is inspired on the book Getting On and Off of JR’s 4600 Stations by Hirohiko Yokomi [ja], published in 1998, which chronicles his experience visiting all of Japan rail's train stations.[1][2] The editor in chief of Shogakukan's Monthly Ikki, Hideki Egami [ja], wanted to recapture Yokomi's experience in manga. Masahiko Ishikawa, Shogakukan's editor and a railfan, recruited Naoe Kikuchi, a new manga artist who worked with Shogakukan on a number of shorts, and this would be her first serialized work.[3][2] Tetsuko no Tabi is about Kikuchi herself, traveling with Yokomi and Ishikawa, illustrating a manga based on their experiences.[2]

Characters

[edit]
Hirohiko Yokomi [ja]
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama
The travel-writer, who turns out to be a huge train-fan. He has a lot of energy and passion for trains, and sometimes girls, but also micro-manages all their trips, planning every detail down to the second. He cares mostly about following the schedule and successfully achieving his planned goals (e.g. visiting all stations on a line in a completely bizarre order to accommodate infrequent trains).
Naoe Kikuchi [ja]
Voiced by: Akira Tomisaka
A manga artist. She has no interest in trains whatsoever, and she keeps getting freaked out by Yokomi's antics. She is also cynical, sarcastic, and rather lazy, mainly looking forward to the next ekiben.
Masahiko Ishikawa
Voiced by: Tokuyoshi Kawashima
Kikuchi's editor, another train geek.
Masaki Kamimura
Voiced by: Tetsuharu Ōta
Kikuchi's second editor.
