Rainbow Parrot (Original Version) Complete Collection Vol. 4

Finally, the conclusion! Rainbow Parrot takes to the stage of a lifetime. Applause for the courageous and moving finale!

◆A genius stage actor specializing in understudy roles, a master of seven-color disguises, and a cool and dapper masked phantom thief—"Rainbow Parrot"—takes on various difficult cases. Together with the headstrong detective, Chisato Mariko, who is head over heels for Parrot but is obsessed with arresting him, they play a major role in solving each case!

◆Serialized to great acclaim in "Weekly Shonen Champion" from 1981 to 1982. A brilliant successor and fusion of the cool and humanistic appeal of the 1970s' predecessors, "Black Jack," and the tsundere romantic comedy elements of "The Three-Eyed One." The thrill of solving mysteries. Cynical humor. The sharp, brilliant way in which each episode's "performance" is resolved will leave you in awe. Furthermore, it is overflowing with the subtle eroticism characteristic of Tezuka's manga.

◆All episodes are included in their original serialization order, with the page layout preserved, and the bonus episodes, "Rainbow Parrot's International Manga Festival Report" and "Tamazaburo's Great Adventure," are also included! This series is the only way to read this work, which has many passionate and dedicated male and female fans, in its original magazine-fidelity form!!

◆This work was adapted into a stage play in 2000 starring Goro Inagaki and Rie Miyazawa, and again in 2018 starring Junna Ito and Konoka Matsuda, both of which garnered much attention.

◆The original manuscripts preserved at Tezuka Productions have been newly directly scanned. This achieves both a powerful B5-size layout and high-definition image quality. Furthermore, it includes rare materials such as previously unpublished pages, all color pages, all title pages, cover art, and preview cuts, and is enriched with galleries and detailed illustrations. A new "guide" to the theatrical works ("Hamlet," "The Blue Bird," "Salome," etc.) that appear in each episode is included at the end of the volume. ◆High-quality, fade-resistant paper for the text. The cover features a new velvet-matte finish, and the black and gold binding will adorn your bookshelf.
