(comment) Isn't it a rare item that appears only once a year, even in ZENBU? That is a pre-debut autograph board by Masakazu Katsura. Masakazu Katsura started drawing manga relatively late, from the third year of junior high school, and he apparently was mainly influenced by Hiroshi Asuna's lyrical style during his high school years. Although the character design differs from later years, you can see early signs of the later top manga artist Masakazu Katsura's sincerity in key animation and his dedication to shading and color differentiation. I searched through doujinshi that collected works from before his debut regarding "Flame Warrior," but I could not find any work with the same title. If anyone knows about this, please send any information (Yamatani).
