[USED] Norakuro Manga Complete Collection

"Norakuro Manga Complete Collection" by manga artist Suiho Tagawa

This work was serialized before the war by a manga artist who represents Japan's early Showa period, and after the war it influenced other leading Japanese manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka.

Although it is impossible to tell if it is the author's signature, it also has Tagawa Suiho's signature. As it is a first edition from 1967, it is bound to have deteriorated over time, but compared to the complete works available online, it remains in relatively good condition. However, please be aware that this is a second-hand book.

Due to the large number of pages, if you would like more detailed product condition information, such as additional photos, please contact us via CONTACT. We will respond as soon as possible.

I remember seeing the name Norakuro in a school textbook, but I never actually got a hold of it. Upon reading it, I realized that although it is a comedy manga aimed at children, it certainly contains depictions that glorify war, and strongly reflects the era before and after the war. However, this does not mean that it justifies the war, but rather that it is a valuable work that reflects on the vestiges of history and created the foundation for future Japanese manga. (Ammel)
