Wow, fantastic collection of famous people! I wish an English version were coming out too--I'd totally get it for my little nephew. Either way, I'm totally buying this...
LOVE that Michael Jackson and Agatha Christie are included in the list...

Oh dear, is that intentional? I'm not sure if it's ok to laugh about this one. |

I was looking at the credits for some of these artists. I think it's kinda funny that the guy who did Steve Jobs, Tatsuyoshi Kobayashi, did the art for a Thomas Edison manga. But Edison was done by some one else. =p

This is great
Turning famous people into cartoons is one of the easiest ways to get young kids to learn about history and the impacts the people made for our world today I would so buy if it was in English as well |

One invented the cheapest food in the world. The other is, well, Gandhi, the grandmaster of fasting |

Che Guevera? The murderer? I didn't think he was that great a figure.
Unless these are ranked from most important, then we have a bigger problem. Jesus being only 14th and without a picture, I'll forgive (cause that's his thing), but Edison 1st? And what about Nicola Tesla? Who got screwed over by Edison. |

This is awesome. I like that they've chosen figures from world history and from all sorts of time periods. I'd definitely buy this if it were released in English.

Oh, this is the order of issues as they ship, not a ranking list. Asahi Shimbun Publications is not setting a pecking order of great figures. |

He was a Cuban revolutionist during the time of militant rule who joined Fidel Castro and was supported by the lower class. He's considered a hero to some; a menace to others. So yeah, he kinda important. :/
Wait. The author of Maiden Rose? How...interesting. I guessed she like military history but astronauts; what a surprise! |

Really like the different art styles and most fit the characters well. Wish I can see them all.
