MAMORU MANIA Reprinted Edition

[Machine Translation] "Mamoru Mania" As the first editor in charge of designer Mamoru Nagano, Shinichiro Inoue has been a constant witness to his creative process. This definitive volume is a passionate and meticulous account of Mamoru Nagano s legend, written during Inoue s own youth. Not only does it comprehensively chronicle key episodes including the untold story behind the creation of *Five Star Stories* (published by KADOKAWA) but it also features special contributions from past editors and director Yoshiyuki Tomino. Despite being a valuable record of testimonies from 1996," this book is now difficult to obtain. The *Reprinted Edition*, an expanded and reprinted version, not only faithfully reproduces the 1996 edition of *Mamoru Mania* but also includes a newly written foreword by Shinichiro Inoue, as well as an afterword and illustrations by Mamoru Nagano. It also includes one frontispiece illustration that was not included as an appendix in the 1996 edition. This legendary volume has been proudly reissued.
