Shogakukan released late manga creator Jiro Taniguchi’s previously unpublished Kōnen no Mori and Izanau Mono works this week.
Izanau Mono publishes Taniguchi’s work based on “Hanabi” (Fireworks) from author Hyakken Uchida’s Meido (Realm of the Dead) compilation book.
The work is different from typical manga because Taniguchi created it in full color with landscape orientation on genkō yōshi (manuscript paper with squares).
The end of the book has a notebook entry from October 2016, in which Taniguchi shared thoughts on writing manga.
