The first ever Bujinkan Manga has been published
Yesterday the first Bujinkan Manga (Japanese comic book) on planet Earth was published, a work by the only creators of this type of genre in Macedonia, the teacher Igor Dovezenski (author) and his student Taki Gakovski (illustrator). Through the manga titled “Takamatsu in China – The Fight with Cho Shiryu”, they lead us on an amazing journey through the world of the last operational Japanese Ninja – Toshitsugu Takamatsu.
Based upon a true story from the teacher Masaaki Hatsumi, the author Dovezenski spent two years researching the details surrounding a story that took place more than a hundred years ago. As a result, the Macedonian public will have the honor of reading about the adventures of the ninja Toshitsugu Takamatsu.
For Your information, even before the first copy of this comic book was printed, several foreign investors and publishing houses expressed an interest in buying the publishing rights with the request that there be no Macedonian publication, concerned that such a publication would be unprofitable. But guided by his patriotism and a love for his country, Dovezenski refused all such offers and decided that this comic book will first be published and presented to the readers from his beloved MACEDONIA.
At the same time a deal was struck with a New York based firm for the publication and distribution of this manga, the firm shall translate, distribute and sell the manga on the American market, which makes the author Dovezenski and the illustrator Gakovski the first artists that have managed to promote their work outside the borders of Macedonia and to the USA market.
By ordering this comic book, You will be supporting the authors in their noble battle to revitalize the nearly dead Macedonian comic book culture, and at the same time we shall be representing our country outside its borders (under its constitutional name of course).
