The action novel was previously adapted into a live-action film by Takashi Miike in Japan in 2013.
The realistic art was drawn by the author himself, used to be known as the artist of the Be-Bop High School manga series in 1980’s and ’90s.
To promote the release in Japan yesterday, Kodansha has posted a two-minute drawing video of the cover illustration for Kazuhiro Kiuchi’s 10th novel “Usodesukedo, Nanika?”
