Happy New Year!
Last year marked the 40th anniversary of Fist of the North Star and we were also able to hold the largest original art exhibition in our history.☆
We had many visitors at the Tokyo venue and, thanks to all of you, the 40th anniversary was very exciting.☆
Thank you very much to all the Hokuto fans!☆
We are planning to hold the exhibition in Nagoya in March this year, so please visit us there as well!
I would also like to enliven the Keiji Maeda series and Bonolon.☆
As a token of our gratitude to all of you who support us on a daily basis, we have a small New Year's present for you. I hope you will be pleased with it.☆
I sincerely wish you all a wonderful new year.
Tetsuo Hara
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
