"Kodansha's Special Feature Manga Library" 1959(S34)12.20The first edition contains all 7 volumes. Among the articles serialized in Kodansha's "Monthly Shonen Club" magazine from 1958 to 1961, the earliest episode "The Secret Treasure In terms of the period, it is about half of the total, up to around October of 1959. The reason why the second half of this edition was not continued was because Kuwata Jiro, who had been in charge of drawing, was extremely busy from around the time of the "Dragon's" edition, so Takaharu, who was Kuwata's assistant at the time and was said to be an ally, was in charge of drawing more and more (in the series, the notation of the person in charge of drawing that had been in place until then was no longer available at the end of the "Dragon's" edition), so it was a temporary break.
It seems that the circulation of the book itself was not small because it was a popular book at the time, but the number of existing books in the second half, especially the final seven, is extremely small compared to the first half. In addition, many of the items that exist throughout the entire volume have been read many times, and it is rare for the entire volume to be covered and in good condition.
Although the 6th volume of this population exhibited this time is a reprint published in October 1959 (the 7th volume is the first edition), there is no sign that it was read with a cover, and it is definitely a collection that can be said to be a beautiful book. Even if you look across the country, you will find that there are few items in condition that are comparable to this group (Kubo)
