【Dogs Red】“Golden Kamuy” Creator Reboots Past Work! The much-discussed Dogs Red Volume 2 is now on sale!

“Dogs Red” is a story set in the northern lands of Japan, Hokkaido, depicting the ice hockey challenge of a genius skater, Akira Shirakawa, who was expelled from the figure skating world. In the Heisei era, after achieving the highest score ever at the All Japan Junior Championship, Akira, dubbed the “Mad Dog Prince” for his inexplicable actions, is permanently banned from figure skating. He then finds his way to Tomakomai, Hokkaido, a town known for ice hockey, where he embarks on a new challenge with Okaminokami High School, aiming for an unprecedented 20th consecutive victory at the Interhigh Championship.

The charm of this manga lies not just in being a sports manga, but in the inner growth of the protagonist, Akira Shirakawa. Transitioning from the beautiful world of figure skating to the new stage of ice hockey, where intensity and beauty coexist, Akira reevaluates himself and grows. The process through which he, having experienced setbacks, uses the knowledge and experience from figure skating in his encounters with ice hockey and transforms all setbacks into blessings is profoundly moving.

His work by Satoru Noda, known for “Golden Kamuy,” is a reboot of his first serialized work in Weekly Young Jump, “Spinamarada!” It refreshes the names and settings of the main characters, weaving a new story set in the world of ice hockey. Noda's delicate yet powerful drawings beautifully capture the intensity and beauty of ice hockey, captivating readers.

“Dogs Red” is a work that can be enjoyed even without knowledge of ice hockey. The intense battles on the ice make readers eagerly await the next volume. As a new work by Satoru Noda, it is recommended not only for fans of “Golden Kamuy” but also for those who love sports manga and human dramas.
