(comment) Originally produced as a picture-story show, this work can be said to be one of Souji Yamakawa's representative works, along with "Shonen Kenya". A boy raised by gorillas develops an epic adventure in the mountains and jungles. The 1st to 4th volumes were published by Shueisha from 1948 to the following year as a series of "funny books". After that, the 10th collection, which is the 5th to the final volume, is a book of works serialized in the magazine "(Boys and Girls) Omoshiro Book", which was also launched by Shueisha in September 1949, in the form of developing the previous book version. It is published as a series "Omoshiro Bunko". When the series changed from "book" to "bunko", the contents up to that point were reissued as a combined book version and later as a separate volume appendix to this magazine, and the binding is similar, which tends to cause some confusion. However, as a book, this set of "book" and "bunko" will be the first to appear.
There are very few books that have the spine and cover in good condition, and it is rare to have the entire volume. Each volume is damaged, but it is a valuable set (there is no mention of reprints in the colophon, but since the date of publication changes between the order of the number of volumes, it will be a mixed set of reprints) (Kubo) |
