Shogakukan Creative has just published the first Japanese three-volume box set of the Batman manga written and illustrated by Jiro Kuwata (8 Man). The set costs 7,980 yen.
The manga is based on DC Comics' popular superhero of the same name and features the adventures of Batman and his partner, Robin as they fight villains such as Lord Death-Man.
The new box set contains all 53 chapters of the manga, including the color pages from the magazine serialization. It also has Kuwata's essay on his Batman memories and commentary by manga critic Kōsei Ono.
Some chapters coming from the original serialization of the manga were compiled and published in Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan by Chip Kidd. Plans for an English release of the three-volume box set is still unknown as of this writing.
