Takao Saito’s long-running Golgo 13 manga broke the Guinness World Record for “most volumes published for a single manga series” when its 200th compiled book volume shipped in Japan on Monday.
Instagram released an AR filter featuring Duke Togo’s “Golgo eyes” to commemorate the series’ 200th volume.
The manga is currently tied with Osamu Akimoto’s Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo (“Kochikame”) police comedy manga, which earned the record when its 200th and final compiled book volume shipped in September 2016.
The story inspired two live-action films in 1973 and 1977, a 1983 anime film, a 1998 Golgo 13: Queen Bee original video anime, and a 2008-2009 television anime series.
