TezukaPro? Oof.

At least Junichi Hayama being here is a nice surprise.

Yep, that's what I thought the first with them doing the production.

Probably gonna be done by Korean outsourcing with a very low-grade animation as well, like My Home Hero treatment - which is a shame, considering how Fable is known.

Has there been a crossover collab with Golgo yet?

Different publishers (Golgo 13 is Shogakukan, while The Fable is Kodansha), so very doubtful.

Leaked exactly 6 days early with a screenshot of this page as that is how early stores get magazines. Now you all know how Twitter leakers who name Weibo as their source to seem mysterious get their info. How would a Chinese chat platform have insiders from the Japanese industry?!? They have no insight into the industry whatsoever. Exactly how the ending to Naruto and its film finale (lol) leaked back then.

Let´s put on our copium hats. Tezuka Productions farms their work out. Even Mappa got assignments from them but let´s be honest. My Home Hero 2.0 is likely upon us.

I am pretty sure that Part 3 of the manga is also happpening and will be the final. That too was part of the "leak". We will know in about a day once the mag is out in the wild.

That doesn't mean much since Kodansha have partnered with Shogakukan for a few things, e.g. there's a fighting game featuring characters from Weekly Shonens Magazine and Sunday that was released in 2009.

i'd accept that more than it being another The Way of the Househusband
if it's handled right since outsourcing studios aren't that bad and the director is having a big experience with supervising that while my home hero's director began his debut there which wasn't good for him since he didn't have experience expect of doing CGi.

While I am here. His previous manga, the 59-volume gang drama Naniwa Tomoare, is fairly solid. It´s a pretty dark story with a bit less levity that The Fable but it too got fairly gritty halfway through Part 1. Imagine if Initial D was also a Yakuza manga and the illegal racers were actual criminals and you have it. Still stuck in Japan but the author gained a cult following so this might solve itself in the future.

I have to admit, as something coming from Ryousuke Takahashi, that key visual is very concerning.
