(comment) Interesting Long Manga 60
Ginko Kamen, wearing a white mask and scarf, punishes the villains. The bright red star mark on the mask is distinctive. Riding a motorcycle with twin pistols. I don't know who they are or where they're from, but it's a work strongly influenced by the Mask of the Moonlight from a certain month, which everyone knows. Published in 1958 (Showa 33) by Togetsu Shobo. In the same era, "Gekkou" style comic adaptations and standalone volumes include the seven-volume set by Jiro Kuwata collected from Kodansha's Shonen Club serialization, and another seven-volume set by Kyuuji Inoue and Kazuo Murayama published as new works by Suzuki Publishing. This "Ginkou" seems to show especially strong influence from Kuwata's version in terms of artwork, and while it might indeed be considered unorthodox, the content is skillfully crafted without shortcuts, making it comparable in quality to those two orthodox works, showcasing Sakihana's high level of skill. It embodies the greedy spirit and vitality of the rental book manga world, willing to do anything to meet the demands of the public, and delivers solid content that meets the expectations of its readers. This time, we will introduce two volumes, numbers 58 and 60, of the Tsukikusa Shobo's "Interesting Long-form Manga" series, but actually, at the end of the second volume, there is a preview of the third volume titled "Country of Ajipt." However, currently, the existence of the third volume has not been confirmed, and it seems highly likely that for some reason, such as reprimands from the orthodox side or other factors, it has not actually been published (Kubo).
