Titan Comics has released a first look at the third volume of Ryuko.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Today, Titan Comics is thrilled to reveal that creator Eldo Yoshimizu (Hen Kai Pan, Gamma Draconis) will be continuing the smash-hit Hard Case Crime manga series Ryuko with a thrilling new third installment. See below for a sneak peek at unlettered artwork - available to run on your outlet immediately.
Ryuko Volume 1 and 2 capture all the tropes and typical elements of a Japanese crime thriller and turns it all on its head! Ryuko is a hard-hitting, motorcycle-riding, high ranking member of the Japanese mafia stationed in the Middle-East. After a fierce battle with the government, she becomes embroiled with a mysterious terrorist organization. But things become personal for Ryuko when her mother is kidnapped...
Talking to FPTV (YouTube show for leading retailer Forbidden Planet) Eldo Yoshimizu said:
"I'm actually working on Ryuko Volume 3. Ryuko is back! Originally I was thinking of finishing Ryuko with Volume 2 but [...] there are some complex and difficult situations in Hong Kong, and the students are fiercely fighting against the government for their democracy. I'm not drawing for my friends there - but as I said I have the spirit of [The Clash musician] Joe Strummer [...] I thought I should really write and draw about the situation there."
Check out Eldo's full conversation with FPTV (available to include with your Volume 3 reveal) :
Ryuko Volume 1 and 2 are available as graphic novels and as a box set, from Amazon (US) and Forbidden Planet (UK/Europe).
