Description
[Machine Translation] This is a coming-of-age documentary comic featuring the real-life female professional wrestler Manami Toyoda by Kazuhiko Shimamoto, a rare manga artist who can simultaneously depict the (coolness) and (uncoolness) of a man fighting against his destiny. As the countdown to Toyoda's retirement is underway, the comic has been reissued for the first time in 23 years! Since her debut in 1982, she has depicted the spirit of struggle (the will to move forward) in various forms, including "Flame Transfer Student," "Gyakkyo Nine," "Burnyo Pen," and "Barkero Pen. The work is based on his own adolescence. While most of the main characters in his works are male, there is one female protagonist who shines brilliantly among them. That is Manami Toyoda. Manami Toyoda is a real-life female professional wrestler who made her mark in the 1990s under the nickname "Tenshi Tennyo" ("Flying Woman"). The title of this work is literally "Burning! Women's Pro Wrestling". This documentary comic depicts a black-haired girl gritting her teeth and growing by her own will in the ring, the square jungle, the wonderland of battle. It was serialized from "Weekly Shonen Sunday August 1992 extra issue" to "December 1993 extra issue," and is a milestone in women's pro wrestling manga! This spring, Manami Toyoda announced that the 30th anniversary event of her debut on November 3, 2017, at the Osanbashi Hall in Yokohama, will be her last active match! The event was met with an outcry on the Internet from women's pro fans of yesteryear, and among them was manga artist Kazuhiko Shimamoto! He wrote on Twitter without a pause, "Well...Toyoda did her best...I have a responsibility to see it through...not just me, but everyone, everyone! I'm not just talking about me, but everyone, everyone! This time, the three volumes originally published in Shonen Sunday Comics have been collected into one very thick volume of about 600 pages! With the addition of various articles and pages, this volume will be published for the first time in 23 years as a large-volume love letter from Shimamoto to Toyoda and to the spectators who lived together with her in that passionate era of women's professional wrestling!
