Japan adds a new anniversary today: City Hunter anniversary

Japan adds a new anniversary today: City Hunter anniversary

Neighboring Japan has many statutory holidays and even more folk commemorative days, such as Cat Memorial Day, Dragon Quest Memorial Day, etc. The Japan Memorial Day Association announced that February 26th has become the memorial day of the classic manga "City Hunter".

·40 years ago today, the serialization of the classic manga "City Hunter" began. As one of the official commemorative activities, we applied to the Japan Memorial Day Association and officially recognized the "City Hunter" Memorial Day.

The author of City Hunter, Hojo Tsukasa, expressed his feelings: "I, Ryo, am 20 years old!!" This sentence is actually the fixed line and catchphrase of the protagonist Ryo Saeba whenever he encounters danger. Now he is welcoming his second coming-of-age ceremony again! (Japan holds an coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 20). At that time, I didn't expect that someone would read his work 40 years later. At that time, I really put aside all my fears and created freely. Now, 40 years later, when I have already passed away, will Ryo still be alive? Like everyone else, I hope that Ryo will live forever.
