Pitch Perfect: “From NHK’s long-running THE PROFESSIONALS slot is this documentary on the genius manga artist, who is famously reluctant to appear in front of the cameras. It is also a truly inspiring record of a creator who, after three decades, continues to wow his readers.” —Akiko Nakano, Senior Manager, International Sales
