I hope that someone picks this up and gives it an worldwide release. So far we're getting to see more of his works. I would love to see a release of that book here. They should do this for much of the older veteran artist.
We have quite a bit on Tezuka. But I wouldn't mind seeing one on Ishinomori, Go Nagai, as well as others. |

I'd be interested to see more older shoujo manga too, and there isn't even much stuff from the 80s available at the moment, especially if we're talking longer series rather than ones that can be comfortably published in 3 volumes or less.
I recently purchased NonNonBa and while I haven't read it from beginning to end yet, I've flipped through it a lot and it seems wonderful, I really want to pick up Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths as well. I can't imagine myself ever reading all of Gegege no Kitaro, but Mizuki is an important creator and I hope his works continue to gain exposure in the west. I don't know how well this set would sell if they released an English-translated version though. I think they'd be far better off publishing his work in chunks rather than as one big set, at least initially. |

Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths is really good. Take the classic WW II grunt story, and add the official policies that lead to the mass coerced suicides in Saipan and Okinawa. |
