In 1989, in the midst of the bubble economy, a series was published in the magazine "Big Comic Spirits", titled "Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga" (nicknamed "Saruman"😉, becoming a huge topic all over Japan as an introductory manga that broke through all the taboos in the manga world. It was cancelled. Eighteen years later, in 2007, the sequel "Saruman 2.0" began to be serialized in the magazine "IKKI". However, soon after, Aihara and Takekuma violently confronted each other due to differences in production policies, and the two declared that the serialization would be cancelled after only eight chapters. After this historic "Tragedy of Saruman 2.0", the name "Saruman 2.0" became taboo, even in the industry. Ten years later, in 2017, the series was collected into a book by underhanded negotiations and tenacious efforts to the relevant parties. What was the real reason why the serialization was interrupted at that time? And what happened to the relationship between the two? At the roundtable discussion recorded in this book, the people concerned gathered together for the first time in 10 years to confess the truth of what happened. Included at the end of the book: Aihara and Takekuma's gravure article "I want to take off far away" (first recorded in a book, 10 pages, full color) as well as the short story "Saruman 21" (reproducing the color pages from the magazine serialization for the first time).
