[Overview of the complete works]
What is OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS?
Otomo Katsuhiro is a creator who has produced one world-famous title after another and is not limited to any one genre, such as manga artist, illustrator, film director, and scriptwriter. "OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS" is a collection of his diverse "complete works" that Otomo Katsuhiro himself has surveyed, summarized, and re-produced in chronological order. This collection of expressive methods that have shocked the world from Japan is not just a personal collection of one artist's work, but also a collection of works that allow you to enjoy the adventure of modern culture, including manga, anime, and videos from the 1970s to the present. What has been created by the era? What has the artist seen and thought about in the era? And what will the artist try next? By covering everything from his works to his statements, we will clarify his evolution as a writer and convey his attitude to the next generation of creators. This complete collection is a completely new collection in which the artist himself has "made himself into a work" and recorded as an object, including the feel of it. (From the editorial office)
