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.[1] 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"),[2] Yoshikazu Ebisu[3] and Takashi Nemoto.[4]
