Me too. I recently made a list of all the comics I need to check out, a list that it'll probably take me years to work through. Anyway, Shigeru Mizuki was at the very top of the Japan portion of the list.

Just how many Kitaro comics did he do? This book isn't listed as 'vol. 1' as far as I can see.

No prob for me: just read NonNonBa and want to continue in somewhat chronological Mizuki's actual life story fashion to Onwards Towards Our Noble Deaths. Can't wait for (eventually) Kitaro.
