Nekkyou Tanpen Manga Kessakushuu '83

A compilation gathering twenty-three one-shot manga published during 1983, the closing year of an era when short standalone stories thrived in weekly anthologies. The selection draws from titles that originally appeared in Shonen Jump, Shonen Sunday, Shonen Magazine and Shonen Champion, with contributions from artists including Fujiko F Fujio, Naoki Urasawa, Rumiko Takahashi, Daijiro Morohoshi, Hisashi Eguchi, Tsukasa Hojo, Osamu Tezuka, Yuki Hijiri, Tatsuhiko Yamagami and Yoshinori Kobayashi, among many others. Alongside the stories, the volume features editorial columns devoted to Shonen Sunday and a retrospective on the broader pop culture landscape of the same year, providing context for the period in which these works first reached readers.
