Ending the year with a "bang!"
Added 2022-12-31 12:00:03 +0000 UTCWhat better way to celebrate the end of the year than with one of Miura-sensei's illustrations! This one is sadly very rare as it was only printed on a telephone card, and there aren't many going around. It's an homage to Akira, the legendary sci-fi manga by Katsuhiro Ōtomo, and the incident that destroyed Tokyo in that story.
Quite a fitting tribute for the end of the millennium! And of course here it's reinterpreted with Puck instead of Akira, and a with chestnut-shaped explosion instead of a spherical one. It's all about the details. :)
It also pairs nicely with the new year card Miura sent that same year, which we talked about here.
