(comment) Included in the 1974 special issue "Bessatsu Shukan Yomiuri: Farewell to the Glorious Number 3 - Shigeo Nagashima," published upon Nagashima’s retirement. Shigeo Nagashima was a postwar Japanese superstar and could rightly be called a living cultural hero. Because the retirement special was being issued by the Yomiuri Shimbun company, numerous prominent figures contributed pieces, and the only manga included among them was this "Hymn of Flame." As a work that depicts Shigeo Nagashima head-on, this title is definitive, and created by the team of Kazuo Kajihara and Hiroshi Kaizuka-who were reaching their peak as creators of passionate sports stories and were at the time captivating the public with "Judo Hymn"-this piece exudes overwhelming power even from a single frontispiece illustration.
