Urasawa Naoki no Manben Saito Takao

[Machine Translation] Japanese "manga" has a passionate fan base around the world. Until now, the method by which cartoonists create their dramas on white paper has been a secret from the world of manga. Furthermore, it is said that there is no set method for manga, and that each manga artist has created his or her own completely different method. This program takes a close look at the workplaces of these cartoonists, which are usually off-limits to the public. Using the latest equipment, the program documents the moment of "manga birth. Naoki Urasawa, one of Japan's leading manga artists, will then delve into the secrets of each artist's creation from the perspective of a fellow manga artist. --The great Takano Saito will make an appearance. He is the creator of the well-known "Golgo 13" and one of Japan's leading cartoonists who established the field of gekiga. This time, we will closely observe the production of "Golgo 13," which has been serialized for 47 years. He was a pioneer in introducing a cooperative system among staff members to the manga world, but Saito says that story creation and the face of Golgo 13 are his work. What does Naoki Urasawa feel from the legend's work? Booklet and bookmarks (one for each volume, with a different design for each title) are enclosed.
