Description
| By day, he’s just an ordinary office worker, but by night, he transforms into the third-generation boss of the Shinsen-gumi, commanding 10,000 underlings!! [The Silent Don] has had the Japanese archipelago in stitches for two eras—Showa and Heisei. Now, that legend is being revived in the Reiwa era as an unprecedented illustration collection. The main manga series is a massive epic spanning 108 volumes. This deluxe definitive edition presents it in a super-substantial, 240-page, full-color format. [The Silent Don] is a unique yakuza entertainment series that incorporates a diverse range of elements, including comedy, romance, and action. As of 2023, cumulative print sales have surpassed 46 million copies. In recent years, it has recorded explosive sales as a digital comic. Furthermore, it has garnered significant attention through media adaptations, including repeated screen adaptations that keep pace with the times. Tatsuo Nitta reveals his creative philosophy, stating, “Even in an era that prioritizes realism, I want to draw outlandish manga!!” This book features the original artwork from *The Silent Don* alongside the author’s commentary. It explains the historical, military, and global political knowledge woven into the series. In this way, it delves into the creative techniques of this peerless storyteller, who will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his full-fledged debut in 2025. What brings *The Silent Don* to life are its numerous, distinctive characters. The protagonist, *Shizuya Kondo*, and his girlfriend, *Akemi Akino*. Furthermore, the book thoroughly dissects the appeal of popular characters ranging from the successive leaders of the Shinsen-gumi and Kishu-gumi to the “Ane-san” (sisters), as well as Ryuji Naruto, Kokumitsu Ryuhou, Shinpachi Ikura, and others. Packed with feature articles, this is a visual guide with a fresh new feel! Also included is a *Manga Artist Special Roundtable* where Nami Saso (author of *Roses Are Born from Shrubbery: The Struggles of a 1970s Shōjo Manga Assistant*), Norifusa Mita (author of *Dragon Zakura*), Kazumi Yamashita (author of *The Life of Professor Yanagisawa, the Genius*), discuss *The Silent Don* in a *Manga Artist Special Roundtable*. In short, this is an absolute must-have for fans. |
