#jimba

Okay hi everyone, I'm a relatively new fan of famous artist Ryo Sumiyoshi / Suzuri sensei and over the past 10 months I've been obsessively collecting and traveling the internet for everything related to him and compiled everything in a few days.

I sincerely hope that you find something interesting in here because there's really a lot... from published books to interviews, many many many links and more!!!

*screams in centaur*

I read the first volume of Jinba and I need more like yesterday

Heartbroken to find out a manga I was really looking forward to was translated with AI that can't even get character names right wtf.

There is more info in the linked thread on Twitter.

(It's 'Centaurs' by Ryo Sumiyoshi)

"Please enjoy a sample of Ryo Sumiyoshi’s CENTAURS manga, available now from ABLAZE MANGA!

Story:

An epic fantasy adventure set in an alternate medieval Japan, where humans co-exist with the mythic half man/half horse beasts known as centaurs, or “jinba”. The centaur race was long revered as deities in ancient times; however, with the advent of the sengoku (warring states) period, humans started to enslave and use them for military purposes due to their speed, stamina, and ability to communicate in human language. Centaurs living in the plains were rapidly subjugated; in contrast, large numbers of centaurs living deep in the mountains were still free due to their relative isolation.

A wild and proud warrior jinba from the mountains named Matsukaze, known as the redheaded rock tiger, is caught while protecting his son. He is traded to a feudal lord and taken to his land. There he meets another centaur, named Kohibari, whose village was burned down as a child. He is a tame centaur, who had his arms amputated when he was captured, and has given up hope of escaping his human captors. If they can get over their differences and work together, they just might be able to return to the wilds as free centaurs."
