Drawn in wiry black inks and filled in with distinct 80s pops of bright color reminiscent of Warhol’s latter-day prints, it follows a pack of trendy youths on what has all the makings of a madcap summer adventure.Marmalade Princess showcases Ito’s previously uncollected short comics fiction across a number of post-Garo alt-manga magazines such as Yakou, Comic Baku, and the famed A*Ha–the Esso-sponsored monthly manga magazine that published the likes of Guido Crepax and Gary Panter.Ito Shigeo’s comics center aimless urbanites in their mid-teens and early 20s. A prolific yet elusive manga-ka of the 1980s, he stopped publishing comics in 1991. After a Japanese folk rocker put Ito’s art on a 2020 album cover, interest in the author’s work spiked, prompting the republication of his short stories in Japan. Marmalade Princess is translated by prolific literary translator David Boyd.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/runeworkscomics.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/902f9e0b-9bf0-48b2-a5cd-5ebcf07e6b94_4f0ce7c1-dad6-4447-b796-a88faeebe946.png?v=1773693174\u0026amp;width=750\"\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54329404850544,"sku":"9781770469464","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/2318\/6800\/files\/9781770469464.jpg?v=1789671616","url":"https:\/\/runeworkscomics.com\/products\/marmalade-princess-foc-february-15-2027","provider":"RUNE WORKS COMICS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
