OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS Latest 2Book Set -Short Manga & Storyboards New Release

Description: Product Listing - OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS Volume 6 and Volume 12, 2-book set Description "OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS" Volume 6 and Volume 12, 2-book set "OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS" Volume 6 This is a collection of seven short manga and a series of short manga spreads, centered around two medium-length series that Katsuhiro Otomo created between 1979 and 1980 when he was 25-26 years old. The title story, "G....", which depicts the battles of former German mercenaries involved in the civil war of a small African country, had never been published in book form until now, but the four stories (about 80 pages/unfinished) have finally been collected into this "phantom work." The depictions of ground battles and fighter planes in the story are spectacular, and it is a powerful work that is full of the drawing and directing skills that are common to his later works "Feeling Like War" and "AKIRA." In addition, all four stories of the medium-length story "The Saint Comes to Town," which depicts the turmoil and miracles caused by the visit of a famous jazz band from the past to Japan, and all stories of "Otomo Katsuhiro's Nutritious!", a fairy tale parody series serialized in two-page spreads in the music magazine "rockin'on," are included. Other short stories included are two from "Goodbye Japan" (1981/Futabasha), one from "Hansel and Gretel" (1981/Sony Magazines), two from "Her Thoughts..." (1990/Kodansha), and two from "SOS Great Tokyo Expeditionary Team" (1996/Kodansha). When the short story "DON QUIJOTE" was first collected in a book, the left and right frames were swapped and it was changed to a right-hand opening, but in this book it has been returned to the original manuscript format, with the reader reading from the end of the book to the left. In addition, all short stories that were in color when they were first published in the magazine are included in their original colors. Product Specifications Publisher: Kodansha Author: Otomo Katsuhiro Publication Date: 2024/08 ISBN-13: 9784065367865 Format: B5 Publication Format: Comic Contents: Comics, Dramatic Art Language: Japanese Number of Pages: 320 "OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS" Volume 12 This is the first volume (8 volumes in total) of the complete Otomo edition of "AKIRA", which includes episodes 1-14 (up to p. 279 of volume 1) of the serial "AKIRA", which Otomo Katsuhiro produced when he was 28-29 years old in 1982-1983 and began serializing in Young Magazine, which was just two years after its launch. This historic work, which had a huge impact on the world of manga, is renowned for its perfection, but in fact the author gave it a lot of polish when it was published in book form. The Young Magazine book version of "AKIRA" was polished and completed through additions, corrections, deletions, replacements, rearrangements of pages and frames, additions of finishing touches, new drawings, etc., and is still read today, 40 years after its first publication. It is particularly well-known that the frontispieces of each serialized chapter were deleted from the book. However, in accordance with the aim of "arranging all of Otomo's work by era and tracing how he has changed as a writer," this complete collection version has been published in the "serialized version" that has been reprinted as much as possible from the time of the serialization, including the frontispieces, in the form before it was edited for the book. There are some parts where the original illustrations no longer exist, and some parts where it is impossible to return them to the way they were when they were serialized because the manuscript was edited directly, but the goal of the complete collection version is to "restore them to their original state as much as possible." The "live serialized version of AKIRA," which has been lost since its serialization, is completely different from the "complete version of AKIRA" that you read in book form, and perfectly recreates the excitement of the time of its release! This is a must-have and must-see first volume dedicated to all AKIRA fans. In addition, the extremely rare color spread of the first issue, which is different from the book version, and the color pages from the serialization are all reproduced as they were at the time.
