Evangelion Creator Hideaki Anno Recommends Akane-banashi Manga
posted on by Richard Eisenbeis
Anno is the second major anime and manga figure to promote the series; volume one got Eiichiro Oda's seal of approval.
The second volume of Weekly Shōnen Jump's Akane-banashi, a manga about a young woman attempting to become a professional Rakugo storyteller, will be released later this week. Wrapped around each book is a strip of paper promoting it with the recommendation of Hideaki Anno—the acclaimed writer/director of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla.
However, Anno is not the first big-name creator to recommend Akane-banashi. The first volume was promoted with a similar recommendation from One Piece's own Eiichiro Oda.
The second volume of Akane-banashi will be released in Japan on August 4, 2022. Akane-banashi can be read on Viz Media's website in the U.S.
