Comment from the publisher

"A character jumped out of the anime!?" I'll never forget the shock I felt when I first saw MA Man's repainted work. The excitement and childish spirit that I had as a child came flooding back to me all at once, and the editor in charge felt that he simply wanted to try it, which led to the publication of this book. Japan is home to many anime and manga works that are loved all over the world. We believe that the figurines that faithfully reproduce the characters are also a piece of Japanese technology that we are proud of around the world. Would you like to add a little bit of your color to this wonderful world of figurines?
