Product Description

A genius manga artist who made a huge impact in the early 1990s, despite being active for less than two years.
The complete works of Takagi Ryuzo, sought after by manga connoisseurs, are published in a commercial book for the first time!

About Takagi Ryuzo: Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1968. In 1991, he was a semi-finalist in Kodansha's Chiba Tetsuya Award, and was a manga artist with a promising future, but he passed away prematurely in 1993. The works he published in Kodansha's young adult manga magazines were highly praised and sympathized with at the time, and had a widespread influence on the world of new wave manga, particularly in the 1990s and beyond.
Due to the vividness of his works and the short period of his career, Takagi Ryuzo has become a semi-legendary figure among manga enthusiasts worldwide. However, his works have never been commercially published in book form (the only collected collection of his works was the Takagi Ryuzo Collected Works, distributed to those involved and a select number of readers after his death), and despite the high acclaim for his works, it has been extremely difficult to obtain his books.

So, in response to many requests, we will be publishing a collection of works left behind by Takagi Ryuzo in an A5-sized book.
In producing this book, all of Takagi's works were re-scanned based on the original manuscripts left behind by him, and the new editions are available in higher resolution than when they were first published.

Please take this opportunity to experience the legacy of the unknown genius manga artist, Takagi Ryuzo.
