Kawaru Machi, Kawareru Machi

The Ishinomori Manga Museum located in manga pioneer Shotaro Ishinomori's hometown of Ishinomaki City released a new animated short based on the creator's semi-autobiographical and wordless manga Jun: Shoutarou no Fantasy World. The short was inspired by the creator's hometown wishing to pay tribute to the work while also paying tribute to the ongoing rebuilding and recovery from the Touhoku earthquake and tsunami since March 11, 2011.
