Sexaroid [Complete Edition] Vol.2

[Machine Translation] The origin of the Matsumoto World! The master cartoonist Leiji Matsumoto has created an anime boom in Japan by reviving his works along with other fantastic works. The first manga that Matsumoto, who had been writing mainly for girls' comic magazines, drew for a young men's comic magazine was "SEXAROID". SEXAROID," which is said to be the origin of "Matsumoto SF" and "Matsumoto Bijo," is an ambitious work that shows the energy of the young Matsumoto, who was seeking and challenging himself to create new expressions. This work is reprinted according to the image of the magazine serialization at that time. This is not a mere large-format comic, but a complete reprint of the color pages as they appeared in the magazine, restored in the colors of that time. The B5-size comic book is a realistic reproduction of the magazine's original publication, and with over 400 pages, this volume is sure to satisfy even the most discerning of fans. The second and third episodes of "New Sexaroid," which were never published in comics, are specially reproduced in the second volume, and an article page talks about the secret of "The Birth of Matsumoto Bijo" with the current Matsumoto. The special interview in the bottom volume is with Katsumi Itabashi, a mecha designer who works at Zero Time as an assistant. It is full of interesting episodes! This book is a must-have for Matsumoto fans and is recommended for permanent preservation!
