I am a terrible reader, so when I tried reading the real Das Kapital, I read about Karl Marx's biography, and gave up on the first chapter half-way.

I was curious about left-wing media, which was apparently a big thing in post-colonial India (Awaara (the most popular movie in the global South in the 1950s), Namak Haram, Kaala Patthar, etc).

Incidentally, I came across 'Manga de Dokuha' by East Press, of which, one book was Das Kapital (the manga). It's a relatively short read, with about nine chapters. Definitely a nice seinen for 30+ folks.
