Description
[Machine Translation] The epic entertainment apocalypse born in Japan, "Genma Taisen"! The story that is the turning point and the key point of the story is finally published in a (complete) edition! In 1967, "Genma Taisen" was serialized in Kodansha's "Weekly Shonen Magazine". Shotaro Ishinomori, who had just won the 7th Kodansha Children's Manga Award the previous year for "Mutant Sub" and "Cyborg 009", and Kazumasa Hirai, who had written the original story for "8 Man" (1963-1965; illustrated by Jiro Kuwata), teamed up to create a science fiction giant. The film is a story about the life of a man who is a hero and a heroine. However, this ambitious work, which was titled after the enemy (Genma), came to an abrupt end with a foreshadowing of the final battle. Despite being a shonen magazine, it had an ambitious open ending that left the story to the reader's imagination. In 1971, four years after the serialization in Shukan Shonen Magazine, Hayakawa Shobo's S-Film was published. In 1971, four years after the serialization of "Shukan Shonen Magazine," the two companies teamed up again to serialize a story in a specialized magazine called "S-F Magazine" published by Hayakawa Shobo. It was called "Shin Genma Taisen" (New Genma Taisen: Gekiga Novel). The Shonen Magazine version of "Genma Taisen" depicted a battle to the death between the God of Destruction (Genma), who came to Earth from outer space, and an army of psychics from Earth, including Tojo and Luna, who fought back against him. The story ended in a desperate situation that foreshadowed the defeat of mankind, and was followed by this story. However, the serialization of the story continued until 1974, but the story came to an end without reaching its conclusion. Later, in 1978, Kazumasa Hirai published a novel version of "Shin Genma Taisen (Tokuma novels)" (Tokuma Shoten). The cover of this book was drawn by Noriyoshi Ikurai, who is in charge of many of Hirai's book covers, and the eight illustrations in the text were drawn by Shotaro Ishinomori. This was to be the last collaboration between these two geniuses, and from 1979, they chose to write and draw their own "Genma Taisen". As a result, an anime version of "Genma Taisen" was released in 1983 as Kadokawa Pictures' first animated feature film, following the content of the "Shonen Magazine" version, and "Shin Genma Taisen" was published as a comic for the first time, finally seeing the light of day. This project is called " New Genma Taisen COMIC & NOVEL" and will be published for the first time in A5 size, the same format as the "S-F Magazine" in which it was serialized. The manga by Shotaro Ishinomori and the novel by Kazumasa Hirai will be combined in the same chapters, and the illustrations by Shotaro Ishinomori as well as those by Noriyoshi Ikai and Akihiro Yamada, who did the illustrations for each book, will be re-printed. The book will also include a letter to Shotaro Ishinomori, written by Kazumasa Hirai and published for the first time in Japan, about "Genma Taisen," a feature article in Ryu (Tokuma Shoten), the magazine in which Shotaro Ishinomori's version of "Genma Taisen" was serialized, and an essay by Kazumasa Hirai.
