Arai Kiyokaze

This is the first art book to showcase the culmination of 40 years of work by artist Kiyokazu Arai! It includes manga such as "Adult Basic-kun" and "Foolish Gamers" that were not included in the "Complete Edition". It also features a brand new illustration of "Morishita Mariko" and many other illustrations of Mariko from "Mysterious Game Unconfirmed Information"! Not only are the characters from "Basic-kun" there, but also the reviewers from past Famitsu cross reviews, as well as characters from "Okhotsk ni Kiyu", "Itadaki Street", "Derby Stallion", and others! This is an essential art book that also includes the legendary (?) Shonen Jump debut manga "Last Quick" and the autobiographical essay "Into the Vortex of 198X"!

The popular four-panel comic strip, "The TV Watcher's Counterattack," serialized on the highly-rated "Almost Daily Itoi Newspaper," has been published as a book. Familiar celebrities, athletes, and announcers engage in improbable interactions in unlikely combinations. The author is Kiyokazu Arai, considered the best in Japan at drawing people's faces. All 100 stories include commentary (or perhaps casual chat?) from the "Almost Daily Men's Club" led by Shigesato Itoi. There are also new comics drawn exclusively for this book. Packed with information unlike any other four-panel comic collection, it's now officially on sale.

The short story "Blood-Stained Joystick" from the manga series "Basic-kun" is now available digitally. Following the release of "Basic-kun Complete Edition," which compiled the 14-year serialization of "Basic-kun" into one volume, "Blood-Stained Joystick," a short story from "Basic-kun," is now available as an ebook. "Blood-Stained Joystick" was originally included as a bonus in the first volume of the comic, and it's a classic shonen manga story in which Basic-kun and gang leader Yoshio battle to determine the "Famicom Minister." Basic-kun vs. gang leader Yoshio! What will be the outcome of their showdown!? In addition to "Blood-Stained Joystick," a bonus 3-page story called "Salto Q Special," which was originally included in the third volume of the comic, is also included. Enjoy a different kind of "story-based" Basic-kun than the 4-panel comics.

"Basic-kun," a character familiar from "Famitsu," is now available in a complete, standalone book! If you were a fan of the game magazine "Famitsu" or the computer magazine "Login" from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, you'll surely remember the four-panel comic strip "Beshi-kun," with its iconic onomatopoeia like "Spoon!" Now, "Beshi-kun" is being reissued as a "complete edition"! The four comic volumes that were previously published have been compiled into one book, and approximately 100 previously unpublished "phantom works" have been added. As a result, the book contains a total of approximately 600 four-panel comic strips. Incidentally, the book is about 3 centimeters thick! It is a massive volume truly worthy of the name "complete edition." \*This ebook uses a fixed layout format. Features such as text resizing, searching, and highlighting are not available.
