It's nice to know that every piece of original art has its own story, not only from its creation and its creator, but also from its discovery and final placement in a collection, with a path sometimes made of chance, travels, unexpected encounters and, fundamentally, life stories that intersect between art and passion.
Congratulations on discovering little gems like this. The idea of ??finding them in small, already hard-to-reach shops, right in the heart of the manga capital, adds a touch of poetry to these almost magical finds.
Since I was a child, I've been in love with Leiji Matsumoto's style, and this work is a prime example, as are his characters. He created a poetic and interconnected multiverse, where independent narrative threads intertwine and intertwine along a single, melancholic space-time current. For me, he was a genius and a great master of manga art.
Bellissima Montanari! I chiaro scuri sono strepitosi.

Great pick up an original from the great master Anno Hideaki..
I agree with you; the focus on a stronger, more developed language for an adult audience is also evident in the attention to the female form of this fascinating, seductive, and emotional alien woman who is mercilessly hunted down as she escapes, using futuristic laser devices. The editing of this panel, represented with speed, movement, and emotion in the action, creates a story within a story, almost a small, self-contained tale of a dramatic scene. Yes, even in the West, much work has been done on action sequences, and in this, some commonalities between the two cultures could be found.
Yes, it's true. The most striking thing, which unfortunately can't be appreciated here as it is in real life, is the incredible meticulousness of the tiny details that drive the observer crazy. The linework is very clean and meticulous, only a few Japanese manga artists are so attentive. Furthermore, the sequence of scenes is very cinematic and creates a narrative, as you rightly pointed out, without the need for further dialogue. There are only two hints of onomatopoeia, or what we in the West call "sound effects" or "SFX," but in Japan they are much more complex and articulated, divided into types such as: Giseigo (擬声語), Giongo (擬音語), Gitaigo (擬態語), or as in this case Giyōgo / Giyuugo (onomatopoeia of voluntary movements and actions, like sutoon for when someone sits down or falls with a small thud.) etc. The world of manga is truly fascinating.
Yes, I agree, it's an excellent example of the use of the kinetic line technique, also widely used in manga, using continuous lines to give the sensation of movement of the subject. It's beautiful to be able to admire them in color, hand-painted on the cardboard of the original background corresponding to the scene.
Every page of Matsumoto's work is a masterpiece for me, and here's a rare example of the ideal of female beauty that's even harder to find. Congratulations, it's truly beautiful!
Thanks a lot Aaron, yes, that's true. It's truly rare to find a complete original story intact; you can even see some of Kirby's pencil marks. I also find the themes of ancient civilizations, time travel, science fiction, etc. fascinating.
