Shonen Sunday 1983

Weekly Shōnen Sunday (週刊少年サンデ) has been published every week since 1959 (although one should note that it actually comes out on Wednesday during the week, not Sunday). Looking back on their 50 years one of the high points of their history was the year 1983 when their circulation grew by leaps and bounds due to the fresh quality of the manga for that era: So to celebrate this they’ve released the book Shonen Sunday 1983 which gives you taste of the manga from that era.

Included in this volume are reprints of Rumiko Takahashi’s classic Urusei Yatsura, Kazuhiko Shimamoto’s Transferee of Fire, Kaoru Araya’s Two Hawks, and many others. Also included are reproductions of the many color covers from the publication and a feature story on the new exciting world of computer graphics:
