Shiji by Sima Qian is said to have been read by all educated people in Japan. Shiji, which depicts Chinese taiga dramas, was not only an interesting historical drama, but also a textbook for adults full of life lessons and aphorisms. The world of "Shiki'' is drawn by Fumio Hisamatsu, a manga artist who took the world by storm with "Super Jetter'' and "Adventure Gaboten Island.''
