Last week (February 26, 2013) was released a new book entitled Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen Mae Hashutsujo Ryō-san no Edo Dai Tatsujin illustrated by 池田俊一*. This new book is part of a series of educative mangas published by Shūeisha, using some known manga characters like Maruko-chan from Chibi Maruko-chan and Arale from Dr. Slump, with the purpose of teaching elementary school chidren subjects like the English and Japanese, science, history, etc...
This particulary book present us the characters of Osamu Akimoto's Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameri Kōen Mae Hashutsujo, the second longest running manga in publication, right behind Golgo 13. The subject is about Edo, but I'm not quite sure if it is about the Edo period or the city itself, which is the former name of the Japanese capital Tōkyō.
