(comment) At a time when humans have not yet reached the stratosphere near Everest, let alone outside the earth, the author draws realistic images of "entry into the earth" like modern space aerial photography. His visionary, well-honed sense as an artist in the genre of science fiction is brilliantly unfolded in this work. This work, which left a great impact on post-war science novels and science fiction manga, has been finished into a wonderful fantasy science fiction manga by a now impossible technique of hand printing the entire page.

Nakamura Shoten has invited the poet, novelist, and painter Asahitaro (Oguma Hideo) as the script writer and original writer as the 11th installment of the "Nakamura Picture Series", and presented "Exploring Mars" with illustrations by Noboru Oshiro, a representative of Nakamura Manga. A bizarre story that depicts the state of Mars observed from the earth, with concrete and careful inclusion of the latest scientific information at the time. It is said to have been the forerunner of Japanese science fiction manga, and the content has impressed many landlords such as Tezuka Osamu, Matsumoto Reiji, Komatsu Sakyo, and Tsutsui Yasutaka. The direct and indirect impact on the postwar world of Japanese manga is immeasurable. The binding comes in a 46-inch box, which was the standard for a deluxe version of the book at the time, and the main cover is upholstered. The contents are all three vivid colors. The design of the box, the cover, and the polite brushstrokes of the main text Oshiro can't be seen anymore. There are few existing ones in good condition, but the ones with boxes are rare. In addition, one of the books introduced this time is the first edition published in 1955, while the existence of reprints has been confirmed. It can be said to be a valuable item that will go down in the history of Japanese manga , (Kubo)
