Kodansha released a special preview of Mari Yamazaki's new manga , creator of Thermae Romae , featuring the first 16 pages of the work "Steve Jobs" . The premiere took place in the latest issue of Kiss , known for publishing popular titles such as Kuragehime . Inevitably, the announcement of this manga caused a great buzz between fans and critics, after all, uniting the life of Apple's iconic founder with Yamazaki is at least bold.
In addition, it draws attention to the artistic style of the author, who, this time, opted for a trace considered by some less attractive than in her previous work. However, this stylistic choice seems to reinforce the proposal to humanize the figure of Steve Jobs, going beyond the mythified image of technology genius.
Mari Yamazaki: From Ancient Rome to Silicon Valley
First, it is worth remembering that Mari Yamazaki has achieved international recognition by beating the Manga Taisho 2010 , the main prize for new manga in Japan, thanks to the success of Thermae Romae . This manga even has five bound volumes, which are also being published in the United States by Yen Press . In addition, the work yielded an adaptation to an anime shown in the Noitamine and a live-action movie released last year.
Now, with Steve Jobs , Yamazaki expands his repertoire by exploring the biography of the iconic entrepreneur, using his unique approach to historical and cultural narratives. Undeniably, the expectation around the series is high, especially among those who have been following their work for years.
While the manga begins to conquer its space in Kiss magazine , fans can check out this online preview, which offers a glimpse of the first impressions of Jobs' trajectory by Yamazaki's hands. So if you were curious, be sure to access the link provided by the publisher.
