Abandon the Old in Tokyo (東京うばすて山, Tōkyō Ubasuteyama) is a collection of gekiga short stories by manga artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi.

[6] In Aging and Loss, Jason Danely remarks that the story "presents the dull, drudging work of elder care as hopeless; whether in life or death, Kenichi's mother will continue to haunt"; also relating cases of abuse due to caregiver exhaustion, concluding that the story visualizes the "intently affective, visual, and visceral context of abandonment".

[8] Gill concludes that the key themes of Tatsumi are: Sexual humiliation, often accompanied by economic inadequacy, so that a woman cannot be satisfied either sexually or materially; lowly occupations that involve cleaning up the mess created by mainstream society (sewer worker, incinerator, window cleaner); and a visceral disgust about the biological processes of sex and reproduction that parallels a disgust about the inhumanity of modern urban mass society – often shading into downright misanthropy, with a corresponding sympathy for animals.

[8]Joseph Luster of Otaku USA said that Tatsumi's art style and character designs reinforce the stories and that they linger in the reader's mind long after being read.

[1] Carlo Santos of Anime News Network found "greater depth and variety" than in The Push Man and Other Stories due to the larger number of pages available, complimenting their simple layouts and executions, but disliked the endings as well as the repetitive character designs.

[11] Ng Suat Tong of The Hooded Utilitarian was critical of Tatsumi—feeling that the stories marked his transition into a rigorous artist, but disliking his repetitive themes and characters, concluding: "These tales are neither close enough, true enough, sad enough nor vile enough to shock us from our modern stupor".

[12] In Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson did not find the collection as powerful as The Push Man and Other Stories, but remarked that "Tatsumi is a great storyteller and his pessimism is profound.

[17] Gordon Flagg of Booklist said that Tatsumi's "powerful drawing style depicts the characters with a starkness and simplicity that matches what is presented of their lives and conjures a convincing urban milieu through detailed backdrops".
