あしたのジョー [Ashita no Joe] #3

A treasured volume from one of manga's most celebrated boxing stories, this third collected edition of Ashita no Joe ("Tomorrow's Joe") brings together the work of writer Takamori Asao and artist Chiba Tetsuya in Kōdansha's signature style. The cover is a lively mix of illustrated and live-action imagery: a determined young boxer in fighting stance takes center stage alongside a heavyset older figure and a sharp-looking young woman in the drawn panels, while a real-life actress appears in a promotional photo — hinting at the live-action film adaptation advertised here. Fans of classic sports manga will find this volume a compelling entry point into Joe's gritty, heartfelt journey through the world of boxing.
