Utterly unique, with stunning artwork, this hit series promises to keep the thrills and surprises coming even as it warms even the coldest heart.
For former LEL operative Shingo Shimazaki, it’s been a long road to become the man he is today. Even after his return to Japan, it was only through a series of meaningful encounters that he was able to slowly but surely shed his former life and discover the land of peace he sought. But this new life offers new challenges and complexities far beyond the simple world of kill or be killed that he’s known for 30 years…!
Hamada received honorable mention in the Chiba Tetsuya Prize in 2000, then subsequently dropped out of manga until "Shimazaki" began its run in 2022. Seshimo made his debut in 2017 and has since had a number of successful series including "Invincible."
