Shimauma Story
Shimauma centers on Tatsuo, who makes money by running a badger game extortion racket with three other friends, until one day they unwittingly target a member of the yakuza. Tatsuo eventually gets a text with an attached picture of his friend Hide’s messed up face and two ribs pulled out of him. Now Tatsuo is about to enter an even darker world than the one of “slaves and cattle” that he had inhabited.
The Shimaumamanga was launched by Obata in Shonengahosha’s Young King Magazine in 2010.
