Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Asadora!, Vol. 6 brings you a thrilling tale of a deadly typhoon, a mysterious creature, and an indomitable girl named Asa Asada who won’t quit.

In 2020, a large creature wreaks havoc in Tokyo, leaving destruction in its wake. Flashing back to 1959, we meet Asa, a spirited young girl from a large family in Nagoya, who is kidnapped for ransom — yet, remarkably, no one notices her absence. When a typhoon strikes Nagoya, Asa finds herself in the unlikely position of having to cooperate with her kidnapper to survive. However, there is more to both the kidnapper and the storm than first appears.

After successfully driving away “that thing” that emerged off the coast of Japan, Asa returns home. She is met with questions and speculation from her siblings and friends and receives a strict warning from Kinuyo — no more dangerous flying!

Meanwhile, in a gripping turn of events, Jissoji pays a visit to the prime minister in the hospital. The prime minister not only knows of Asa but believes that the fate of Japan may rest on her shoulders. At the prime minister’s insistence, Asa is advised to stay ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

About the Author

Naoki Urasawa’s career as a manga artist spans more than thirty years and has firmly established him as one of the true manga masters of Japan. Born in Tokyo in 1960, Urasawa debuted with BETA!! in 1983 and hasn’t stopped his impressive output since. Well-versed in a variety of genres, Urasawa’s oeuvre encompasses a multitude of different subjects, such as a romantic comedy (Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl), a suspenseful human drama about a former mercenary (Pineapple ARMY; story by Kazuya Kudo), a captivating psychological suspense story (Monster), a sci-fi adventure manga (20th Century Boys), an art heist thriller (Mujirushi: The Sign of Dreams), and a modern reinterpretation of the work of the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka (Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka; co-authored with Takashi Nagasaki, supervised by Macoto Tezka, and with the cooperation of Tezuka Productions). Many of his books have spawned popular animated and live-action TV programs and films, and 2008 saw the theatrical release of the first of three live-action Japanese films based on 20th Century Boys.

No stranger to accolades and awards, Urasawa received the 2011 and 2013 Eisner Award for Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia, and is a three-time recipient of the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award, a two-time recipient of the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize, and also received the Kodansha Manga Award. Urasawa has also become involved in the world of academia, and in 2008 accepted a guest teaching post at Nagoya Zokei University, where he teaches courses in, of course, manga.
