Raiden Tameemon, Arawaka oneshot (all color) is out yesterday in Shin Manga Nihonshi #35.

Whoa, I did not know this! Thank you, loicos!

From the cover I can see that:
Shin Manga Nihonshi (New Manga Japan History) is a magazine that tells Japanese history in manga form, and the latest issue, issue # 35 (490 Japanese Yen) is focussed on the history of Sumo, and Raiden (no, not a robot XD) the best Sumo wrestler in the history of Sumo, with the career record of 254 wins & 10 losses, an (astonishing ^^) 96.2 % winning rate, with the cover page of Raiden drawing by Arakawa-sensei and one-shot by Arakawa on Raiden inside the magazine.


I only know Raiden (yes, I'm pretty sure he was the Raiden-18's name-sake) was a famous Sumo rikishi (sumo wrestler) but not much else. I want to read this one!

Thank you for the news, loicos!

And thank you Tombow for the extra info! It sounds really interesting. (Japanese) history and manga is a winning combination in my eyes.

Thanks for the news, loicos and Tombow for the extra info! ^^

This one-shot sounds interesting, I'd like to see how Arakawa tells a Japanese history. I hope it'll be scanlated someday.

...Arakawa really loves muscles doesn't she? XD

I wonder if we'll ever see scans of this...
