Takagi Ryuuzou Sakuhinshuu: Twisted
高木りゅうぞう作品集 ツイステッド
Ryuuzou Takagi was a genius manga artist who left an immense impact during his brief career spanning less than two years in the early 1990s. Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1968, he was honored as a runner-up in Kodansha's Chiba Tetsuya Award in 1991, with his future highly anticipated. He passed away prematurely in 1993, but his works published in Kodansha's seinen manga magazines garnered high praise and resonance, profoundly influencing the world of New Wave manga from the 1990s onward.
Despite his legendary status among manga connoisseurs, Takagi's works were never commercially published in tankobon format. The only collected works were a posthumous edition distributed to associates and some readers, making access extremely difficult. Now, in response to numerous requests, his complete works are compiled into a single A5 volume, re-scanned from original manuscripts with higher resolution than the original publications.
