On Feb 9th, 1989, legendary manga author Osamu Tezuka died after a prolonged hospital stay due to Stomach Cancer. Months later, Asahi Journal ran a Special issue as homage to Tezuka's legacy. In this issue, a bunch of his contemporaries, as well as some of his own assistants, drew up tribute pages to mourn their fallen colleague. This listing is for the translated tribute pages.
This semi-autobiographical story is based on a horrific episode from Higuchi Takehiro's time as a security guard at a Roppongi club, and is known for being "the man who defeated Asakura Mikuru" in "Breaking Down." The character design and composition are handled by Tokoro Juzo, the maestro of the delinquent manga world known for "Shikigami Densetsu: Taku's Sukkou" and "Dolphin," and the story is vividly brought to life by the talented Shimahoshi Mitsuichi, whose writing style was recognized by Matsumoto Leiji and who gave him a pen name!

-After his grandparents—the last of his family—pass away, Kariya finds himself free to discover what awaits outside the harsh confines of his remote mountain village. However, beyond its borders lies a world embroiled in the fires of war, and Kariya is conscripted into the army before he can take his first step toward freedom. It doesn’t take him long to realize the truth: this world is a near carbon copy of a game he played in his previous life. When his identity as a reincarnated player comes to light, Kariya is tasked with a perilous mission to escort Wald, a handsome prince disguised as his twin sister the princess, safely through enemy territory and back to the royal capital. But Kariya isn’t the only one who knows the secret of this world—and having the combat proficiency of a common NPC won’t keep anyone safe. Armed only with player foresight and the skills of an S-tier craftsman, he’ll need every ounce of cunning he can muster to turn the tides of battle and bring his prince home. (Source: J-Novel Club)
