Fire!, winner of the Shogakukan Manga Award, will be rescued from oblivion with a massive 896-page edition. This publication aims to return a fundamental 80s shojo manga to the shelves, a story that combined romantic drama with supernatural elements and is now almost a collector's rarity.
The technical process of rescuing a classic editorial 🔥
The edition requires digital restoration work on the originals, many of which are on degraded physical media. High-resolution scanning, color correction, and screen tone reconstruction processes are applied to maintain the texture of the original paper. The 896-page format involves special binding with a sewn spine to prevent the block from falling apart, a considerable technical challenge for a print run aiming to be accessible.
896 pages of drama: ideal for scaring off visitors 📚
If you think reading a single volume weighing almost a kilo of paper is an exaggeration, wait until you see your mailman's face when he drops it at your door. This shojo brick will serve both to thrill you with plot twists and to level the wobbly leg of your table. Plus, if someone asks you what it's about, you can confidently answer: it's a classic. No one will dare ask you for more details.
