Pencipta Manga Sepak Bola Jepang "Captain Tsubasa" akan Menyelesaikan Serialnya

TOKYO, Jan 09 (Kyodo News) - Pencipta manga sepak bola Jepang "Captain Tsubasa" akan menyelesaikan seri tersebut pada bulan April, mengakhiri periode 43 tahun di mana manga ini memikat anak-anak dan bahkan pesepakbola profesional di seluruh dunia, termasuk bintang Spanyol, Andres Iniesta.

Shueisha Inc., penerbit di Tokyo, mengumumkan pada Jumat bahwa Yoichi Takahashi akan menyelesaikan seri manga yang menampilkan karakter Tsubasa, seorang pesepakbola yang luar biasa, dalam edisi terakhir Captain Tsubasa Magazine Vol. 20, yang akan dirilis pada awal April.

Takahashi, yang berusia 63 tahun, menyatakan di platform media sosial X (dulu Twitter) bahwa dia memiliki gambaran kasar tentang bagaimana kisah Captain Tsubasa akan berakhir, namun ia membutuhkan waktu 40 tahun atau lebih untuk merealisasikan ide dalam format manga dan ia merasa hal tersebut "tidak realistis."
