This is why we hunt Manga in Japan

[@G_BLASTER]

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

[@knights_of_old]

Ed would be proud!

[@japanbookhunter]

He's here somewhere admiring our hauls :)

[@oliverfrom656comics7]

Fellas! Please, please, pleeeeaaaase make more content like this!!!

[@japanbookhunter]

We have more coming my friend!!!

[@TheHomeOfGraphicLiterature]

Great news for Brian, Ashita No Joe is getting an English release at the end of this year from Vertical! Already have mine pre-ordered since I've been watching the show and I tell ya it really is phenomenal

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Oh wow!! The Two Ashita no Joe compilation movies are also released by Discotek.

[@WestCoastDAVEngers]

Yes! Now I finally get to see what you guys hauled 📚📚📚

[@japanbookhunter]

Not done yet😎

[@RobMcCallumArt]

Oh why did I have to learn of the existence of those artist editions! (Great vid)

[@kevinferministudio]

Man, this warms my heart to see. Manga Quest forever.

[@japanbookhunter]

Thank you! We shall never stop until we are bones and ashes my friend!

[@rogermassimo7455]

You always discover little manga gems!!

[@japanbookhunter]

We try our best!🫡

[@codeninja100]

THE COLLAB WE NEEDED!!

[@japanbookhunter]

Been toooo long!

[@FacundoNehuenLopez]

5:13 This is the first time I've seen scans of pages from Ashita no Joe. I'm surprised that there is such well-preserved material from that time, but at the same time, knowing that in Japan there was never a market for buying and selling originals by the authors, it makes sense that so much material is preserved, which would surely be archived in some repository. Here in Argentina, the first volume in Spanish has just been published this month for the first time. It's a manga that I've been waiting for all my life since I saw the anime.

[@japanbookhunter]

It's amazing! So great to see the raw work of Chiba-sensei!

[@jeremyhyler]

Love this! thanks guys.

[@japanbookhunter]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@444WORLD]

the hikaru no go soundtrack has legitimately some of the best music you will ever hear

[@japanbookhunter]

🤩🤩🤩

[@chasewellman5831]

Love to see it!

[@japanbookhunter]

Thank you!

[@zachdavis9538]

You guys are the best! Can't wait to see the haul. Also, I'd be all over that bootleg doujinshi!

[@japanbookhunter]

Haul coming soon, and more👀

[@rammisalami]

You guys should continue these bounty battles!

[@andybrining]

Awesome finds! In a crazy coincidence, I emailed you about the guy doing the Otomo companions way back in June.

[@japanbookhunter]

Oh dang, I'm always so busy it's hard to keep up with side quests. haha. Those companions are lit though!

[@andybrining]

@japanbookhunter yeah man, just trying to send some good info your way. Glad you found them!

[@EasterlyArt]

35:22 This is ガナパの手 Ganapa No Te by Keita Amemiya. "Keita Amemiya is a Japanese film and television director, screenwriter and character designer from Urayasu, Chiba. He directed the films Mirai Ninja, Zeiram, Kamen Rider ZO, and Kamen Rider J, and created the tokusatsu franchise Garo in 2005." - Wiki

[@EasterlyArt]

51:10 I need to read more Ishinomori because I thought this was Chikae Ide for a second. I bet she was influenced by Ishinomori, but this book instantly reminded me of her manga about a woman who bowls to pay for he little bother's surgery.

[@japanbookhunter]

Thanks! Much needed info my friend!

[@mapledripcomics]

You and Bryan have tremendous chemistry, maybe you could find a way to do this same format via livestreams when he's back in America! Either way very much appreciate this content, the internet can be a cold place, but stuff like this makes it all worthwhile!

[@japanbookhunter]

Thanks and I'm sure we will do a recap with all the crew together here soon! I'll try to organize it all

[@EasterlyArt]

Five minutes in and I love this episode so much!

[@tiodeleve]

Awesome conversation, amazing mangas! 🖤💛

[@WaljaMada]

Enjoyed those artist editions. I just bought the original art for an almost complete Gekiga manga (around 130 pages) by Yoshito Tsukimiya from the 60s and now need to track down the actual manga! I think it was called Spider Woman.

[@japanbookhunter]

Oh! You know the JP title? 蜘蛛女？ I'd be interested in tracking it down out of curiosity!

[@WaljaMada]

@japanbookhunter yeah, that matches the kanji on the photo of the cover i have. It was published by Tokyo Top-sha.

[@mattskirble6845]

I hope to one day make it to Japan to hunt that paper gold.

[@japanbookhunter]

I’m sure you will one day my friend💪

[@peibang4057]

love these talks between big manga fans

[@japanbookhunter]

We love sharing our love with all of y’all!

[@JanHell666]

The death of Tohru Rikiishi was a culture event in Japan back when it happened.

[@japanbookhunter]

I love fighting, but hate the damage people take. Such a sad thing to see great fighters lose it all.

[@io5644]

Excellent stuff. Thank you

[@japanbookhunter]

You're welcome! More to come soon!

[@opticsbinding2815]

Oh boy, that Tatari Takayama looks like so much fun!

[@japanbookhunter]

He was an amazing artist. Such a shame we lost him so early.... :(

[@wrestledeep]

great video. It looks like Ashita no Joe Perfect Reproduction Book Series is sold out. Is there any volumes of that or the Tezuka Reproduction Books available?? anywhere😪????💔

[@japanbookhunter]

I find them sometimes. I got the Kamen Rider Ishinomori one a few days ago. It's soooooo guuuuud. I NEED MORE!!!

[@ErwinPapa]

Ganapa No Te is by Keita Amemiya. He worked on Kamen Rider Black RX and created/character designed/directed Zeiram, Kamen Rider ZO and J, and Garo, just to name a few.

[@japanbookhunter]

Thanks! I'm still learning all the tokusatsu stuff after over 20 years of hunting it!

[@drawrobot]

Mr. T was in DC Cab. Not Taxi Driver.

[@japanbookhunter]

Yes! I meant DC Cab!!!!

[@frankg111]

awesome vid

[@japanbookhunter]

Thank you!🫡

[@Henjo29]

I love Tezuka. I used the work in Takadanobaba, where he used to live and you can see his artwork display around the city. Another of my favorites would be the Lone Wolf and Cub series. I’m sure a master book of that manga would look amazing!

[@Therealmrmeow]

B-man! ^^
