Karasawa Nawoki

A celebration by various mangaka and celebrities of the 2023 Japan Series winning Hanshin Tigers baseball team.

An Evangelion parody by Nawoki Karasawa, the mangaka of The Super Harsh Story of a Mangaka.

If you thought Evangelion's characters have a tough time in the anime, wait until you see what happens when some of Japan's most unhinged manga artists get their ink-stained hands on them! Neon Genesis Evangelion: Comic Tribute is an officially authorized one-shot anthology of parody stories assaulting Evangelion from all directions. Inside, Mine Yoshizaki (Sgt. Frog) leads a band of manga pranksters including Hideki Ohwada (The Legend of Koizumi), Yun Kouga (Loveless), Nawoki Karasawa (Sake Jock, Super Cruel and Terrible Tales of Manga-ka), Yoko Sanri (B Gata H Kei: Yamada's First Time), ComiPo! mastermind Keiichi Tanaka, Rui Takato (Cynthia the Mission), Astroguy II (Queen's Blade Struggle), Kotaro Yamada (The Sacred Blacksmith), Sessyu Takemura (Domin-8 Me!), Jun Abe (Portus), and Tony Takezaki (Space Pinchy, A.D. Police). Also contains contributions from normal people, like Rikdo Koshi (Excel Saga). The most famous anime franchise of the last 20 years.

A fat Zeon Zaku appears. Fat Amuro gets into the fat Gundam, but he's too fat to fit into the cockpit... Amuro, Char, and Sayla are all fat, heavy, fat, and oppressive in this Gundam parody manga.

One-shot compilation based on Sakyo Komatsu's best-selling novel Japan Sinks (Nihon Chinbotsu) (1973): a story of Japan slowly sinking into the sea, represented strictly in a derisive mode.

A monster deformed into a three-headed body vs. Ultra Seven. A series of battles that are too loose. A book filled with love for the legendary monster program "Ultra Fight" has finally been reprinted electronically. "Ultra Fight" was broadcast in a five-minute slot from 1970 on Monday to Friday evenings. In order to keep production costs down, battle scenes were cut out from past programs and re-edited, and TBS (then) sports announcer Jiro Yamada provided live commentary on the show. It was a unique work. If you haven't watched "Ultra Fight," you can't enjoy this manga... That's not true. 12 columns thoroughly explain what kind of program "Ultra Fight" was and what made children at the time so fascinated. The character file introducing the personalities and fighting styles of Seven and the monsters is also a must-read. In addition, this electronic reprint also includes "As expected! Yamada's live commentary," which was not included in the paper book (published by Kadokawa Shoten in 2006)! This luxurious book will be enjoyed to the fullest by both the "Ultra Fight" generation and those who are not.

A complete renewal of the masterpiece "Mobile Suit Gundam", which reigns supreme in the history of anime. Moreover, all the characters are dogs!

Sachiko Usurai just wants an easygoing school life, and make some friends. But her head is inhabited by a strange being she refers to as "Neko-sama." A representation of her karma, in the form of a cat. These creatures that resemble animals, have been carried by humans for generations and generations and are said to influence a person's fate.

Nawoki Karasawa is one of the longer-active and more prestigious names in the typically small time, lesser-known world of gag manga. In a genre where art skill is second to just about everything else, Karasawa's dialogue is hilariously sharp and witty. A gag parody of Shinji Nagashima's immortal Mangaka Zankoku Monogatari (Karasawa's title only differs by adding "Chou" (Super) to "Zankoku"), a manga about the dreams, ambitions, and suffering of a group of bright young mangaka. Karasawa brilliantly takes the piss out of just about everything involved with being a mangaka. It's lewd, raunchy, endlessly cynical and laugh-out-loud funny. Originally published in Ikki and the Big Comic Spirits special issue "Casual" from 2000 to 2003, it was collected into a single book in 2005.

"That's stupid..." I'm addicted to a strange world with each frame (Yamera Renai), "I'm an idiot..." Each piece makes me lose my shoulders (Kotaera Renai). An aphrodisiac book where you can experience the Naoki Karasawa world!
