●BOOKLET● ŌTOMO KATSUHIRO ZENSHŪ KAISETSU 2 BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ (大友克洋全集解説 2 BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ)

 

Independent Katsuhiro Otomo researcher and archivist Jun'ya Suzuki (鈴木淳也), who in 1999 started the website Apple Paradise: Otomo Katsuhiro Data Base has published the third of a series of booklets to accompany the KATSUHIRO OTOMO COMPLETE WORKS collection that is currently being published by Kodansha. This booklet commentaries correspond to Otomo's early manga works collected in the book OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 2: BOOGIE WOOGIE WALTZ

These COMMENTARY SERIES booklets scheduled to be produced for all volumes will include commentaries regarding each volume and as they have the same size as the books that will accompany, they will work  perfectly as dividers since they  prevent vinyl covers from sticking to each other.

The booklet was sold for the first time today in COMITIA 146 (コミティア146) in the stand M20a ŌTOMO KATSUHIRO KENKYŪ (M20a大友克洋研究). You can follow and contact Jun'ya Suzuki on Instagram and Twitter.
