Fujiko F. Fujio's masterpiece adventure 'T.P. Bon (Time Patrol Bon),' a grand SF story embodying his lifelong passion for history and ancient ruins, is finally available in a new special edition.

The story follows an ordinary boy, Bon Namihira, who becomes a member of the future organization "T.P. (Time Patrol)" and travels through history to save countless lives. It was serialized in the youth manga magazine Monthly Shonen World (later renewed as Monthly Comic Tom) by Ushio Publishing, which also featured works like Osamu Tezuka's 'Buddha' and Mitsuteru Yokoyama's 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms.' The series catered to a wide range of readers, from middle school students to adults.

With the recent release of Season 2 of the Netflix series anime 'T.P. Bon,' the series has garnered renewed attention. Today, July 30, 2024, marks the release of the fifth and final volume of the new edition (standard edition) of 'T.P. Bon.' Additionally, the first volume of the collectors' edition, the first to be published in the same size as the magazine serialization, is also available today.

This masterpiece series of 35 episodes is fully compiled in the 'T.P. Bon' new edition, both in the standard and collectors' editions, following the original publication order. The collectors' edition features:

・The first time 'T.P. Bon' is published in the original B5 size.
・Complete inclusion of the preview pages, color pages, and color cuts from the original serialization.
・Codex binding that allows the book to open flat to the spine.
・These meticulous details ensure readers can thoroughly enjoy every aspect of the work.
