Yasuo Otsuka's Hobby Companionship Chronicles

This is the second volume following the well-received "Otsuka Yasuo's Hobby Notes." It is a collection of unpublished manuscripts, including Otsuka's contributions to magazines, interviews, and discussions. It includes his respect for his seniors from his time at Toei Animation, Daikuhara Akira and Mori Koji, conversations with his juniors, Takahata Isao and Miyazaki Hayao, and essays about models and his beloved Fiat 500. Otsuka looks back on his lifelong friendship with writing that is full of sharp analysis, humor, and love. The opening page includes revised original drawings from "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro," a variety of vehicle illustrations, and animal sketches. Seiji Kanoh, who has been a long-time friend of Otsuka, is in charge of the composition, editing, and commentary.
