Some of the biggest names in the manga industry are working together on revamping a huge project for one of the best-known manga publishing companies, Shueisha.
It is not a typical kind of manga story, though, but something altogether different. This special anthology doesn't tell an original story but is meant to be educational, as it turns historical figures and events into a manga to help people learn about history.
The anthology is called Educational Manga-History of the World (herein History of the World). To help garner new interest in the project, which began publication more than twenty years ago, the mangaka behind titles like Spy x Family, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, My Hero Academia, and more have been brought together to do the illustrations.
These artists will be making new cover art for some of the existing issues, as well as adding to the stories. As mentioned above, History of the World has been published for more than twenty years.
The series began in 2002, and is a collection of manga across multiple volumes with the goal of teaching readers about history in a fun and engaging way.
