世紀末リーダー伝たけし! [Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!]

In the late 1990s, Shueisha published Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!, a 24-issue manga series that follows the comedic misadventures of its young protagonist as he navigates childhood and dreams of becoming a leader. Written and illustrated by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro, this lighthearted, gag-driven series captures the spirit of its era with playful, over-the-top humor. While not as globally recognized as some of its contemporaries, it remains a charming snapshot of late-'90s shonen manga from a creator who would later achieve international fame.
