Discover the secret behind the birth of Pokemon! The Shogakukan edition of the Leaning Manga Special series features Tajiri Satoshi, the game designer who created Pokemon! Starting with Pokemon Red and Green released in 1996, the world of Pokemon has continued to expand with animated TV shows, movies, and even card games, and recently Pokemon GO has become a worldwide phenomenon. The story of Tajiri Satoshi, who laid the foundation of the Pokemon universe, is introduced in the form of a learning manga, from his upbringing to the creation of Pokemon. The book is filled with stories from friends who developed the game together, as well as anecdotes from the people in his life who gave Tajiri the support he needed to create Pokemon. This book is not only for children who aspire to become game designers, but also for adults who are Pokemon fans. At the beginning and end of the book, there are articles that give an overview of not only the history of Pokemon but also the history of the video game industry. In addition, an essay written by Tajiri called "Do You Know?" gives a glimpse into Tajiri's hobbies and interests. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)

Facing this new era where all metals turn to ash, Jinkichi and his classmates will have to survive with little help from the Japanese government. Some of his classmates have already begun to understand that the norms of the past have collapsed, and lawlessness will be the new law. Jinkichi will have to protect himself as well as his classmates from the violence that ensues. (Source: MangaHelpers)
