Categories:Creators' Artworks

Shinji Wada, the author of "Sukeban Detective", has released a commemorative art book for 10 years since his death!

Girls who challenge great evil in sailor suits - Shinji Wada is a manga artist who has left behind many popular works such as "Sukeban Detective" (Deka), which has sold a total of 20 million copies, and caused a social phenomenon when it was made into a TV drama, and "Super Girl Asuka". It sparked a revolution in the girls' manga world by introducing brilliant action depictions. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of his death, we have started a project to create a gorgeous commemorative art book!

This art book is extremely voluminous with 272 pages, all pages printed in color. From hit works such as "Sukeban Keiji'' to "Choushoujo Asuka'' and "Pygmario,'' to early suspense and comedy masterpieces, this book looks back on the entirety of his career in color with original color drawings. In addition, the moving famous scene that once brought girls to tears is recreated in a "raw original version" that takes advantage of the texture of the ink and typesetting. Don't miss the rough pencil sketches of "Sukeban Keiji,'' which will be shown for the first time in Japan, and the concept notes for the giant story "Pygmario.''

Also includes special interviews with Shinji Wada's allies Suzue Miuchi, Masahiro Shibata, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Izumi Takemoto, and Kaoru Shintani (in order of publication). Shinji Wada loved special effects and beautiful girl figures. The masterpiece "Stumbled in a Cabbage Patch'' that shows its roots is included for the first time in all pages with "raw original illustration ver.''. Shinji Wada's collection and work room filled with his memories will also be made available to the public. Here is an exciting monument that cannot be ignored when talking about the golden age of girls' manga.
