あの夏が飽和する – Raw 【第8話】

Although many people think of Astroboy as the first contemporary Manga, the honor actually goes to Tagosaku and Mokube’s Sightseeing in Tokyo, created by Kitazawa Rakuten for the Jiji Shimpō newspaper’s Sunday supplement in 1902. It tells the story of two inexperienced country bumpkins adventuring in the big city.

Kitazawa was the first person to use the modern definition of Manga. He founded an academy and trained many young artists and cartoonists in the arts of caricature and Manga.
