ASH: The last few years have been somewhat astonishing with the number of seemingly unlicensable manga being licensed. Baki the Grappler is one of the most recent… although I guess it’s technically a license rescue? Either way, I’m eager to give this series of absolute martial arts mayhem a try.
SEAN: I don’t know where I’ll find the room for another big artbook, but The Art of Rumiko Takahashi: Colors 1978–2024 is hard to resist.
ANNA: I’m always happy to see a license rescue, Baki the Grappler for me!
KATE: I second Sean’s pick; Takahashi was my introduction to manga, so I feel a moral obligation to buy this book!
