Kodansha has released a special preview of the new manga by Mari Yamazaki , creator of Thermae Romae , featuring the first 16 pages of the book "Steve Jobs ." The debut appeared in the latest issue of Kiss , known for publishing popular titles such as Kuragehime . The announcement of this manga inevitably caused a stir among fans and critics alike; after all, combining the life of the iconic Apple founder with Yamazaki is, to say the least, bold.
Furthermore, the artist's artistic style is striking, as this time she opted for a style considered by some to be less appealing than in her previous works. However, this stylistic choice seems to reinforce the idea of humanizing Steve Jobs, going beyond the mythologized image of the tech genius.
Mari Yamazaki: From Ancient Rome to Silicon Valley
First, it's worth remembering that Mari Yamazaki achieved international recognition by winning the 2010 Manga Taisho , the top award for new manga in Japan, thanks to the success of Thermae Romae . This manga already has five bound volumes, which are also being published in the United States by Yen Press . Furthermore, the work spawned an anime adaptation shown on the noitaminA and a live-action film released last year.
Now, with "Steve Jobs ," Yamazaki expands his repertoire by exploring the biography of the iconic businessman, utilizing his unique approach to historical and cultural narratives. Undeniably, anticipation surrounding the series is high, especially among those who have followed his work for years.
