New Releases by Goseki Kojima

" Um dos personagens mais icônicos e populares do Japão adaptado para mangá pelo mestre Goseki Kojima, cocriador do Lobo Solitário!! Com um grande chapéu, vestes surradas e portando uma espada numa bainha cor de ferrugem, Monjirou é um toseinin, um andarilho solitário sem casa e sem ocupação. Como homem de um povo oprimido pela pobreza e pela fome, ele testemunha a formação de um submundo no Japão do final do Período Edo (1603–1867), e passa a combater os abusos dos déspotas e cruéis, a despeito de seu desejo de passar alheio às injustiças. O som que vaza por entre seus lábios e o palito que sempre carrega na boca soa como o vento gelado passando pela fresta da porta, o que lhe rende a alcunha de “kogarashi”, que nada mais é do que o “vento do fim de outono que prenuncia o inverno”. Originalmente escrita pelo romancista japonês Saho Sasazawa (pseudônimo de Masaru Sasazawa, 1930 – 2002) e publicada em capítulos mensais na revista Shousetsu Gendai (especializada em romances de época, os jidaigeki, da editora Kodansha) entre 1971 e 1978, a novela Kogarashi Monjirou fez tanto sucesso que ganhou uma longa série televisiva em 1972, um filme em 1993 e especiais para a TV em 1990 e 2009. Com um protagonista cativante e tramas que unem o retrato de um período histórico ao suspense e mistério, essas obras do audiovisual se tornaram referência e ditaram moda nas telas japonesas na década de 1970. Em 1972, o personagem chegou aos mangás por meio dos traços expressivos de Goseki Kojima (1928– 2000), consagrado autor de gekigás (mangás com tramas realistas voltadas para adultos) já muito querido pelo público brasileiro, famoso por ser cocriador das séries Lobo Solitário e Samurai Executor! O mangá vem no padrão luxuoso do selo Drago, com sobrecapa com verniz localizado, capa cartão de alta gramatura, marcador de página, miolo de 340 páginas colado e costurado (para garantir o melhor manuseio), e glossário exclusivo da edição nacional. Mais um clássico das publicações japonesas que chega ao Brasil. "

It's not easy being Hattori Hanzo. If he's not teaching the young and upcoming shogun how to love, then he's either behind the scenes teaching Ieyasu how not to die in case of a momentary lapse of protection. Or he might be in the shadows making sure Ieyasu's leadership is effective by any means necessary. In this quasi-historical tale from the masters of Japanese samurai culture, Path of the Assassin shows a side of feudal japan that entertains with action as well as political drama.
