Single (softcover) Kuma-nichi Publishing / "Handsome Guy!!" "Beauty!!"
A beer hall located in the center of Kumamoto City. The owner greets visitors with the customary greeting, Mr. Yoshinori Murata. As a beer hall master who loves Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestler, his presence is well known among Pro Wrestling fans nationwide.
This book centers on the master's life, who realized the "true strength of humanity" through a fateful encounter with Mr. Antonio Inoki and has walked the path to this day. It tells the story of the bonds with the "MAN faction" drawn to the master's passionate soul, as well as the bonds and obsessions that connected the master and beer.
One of the charms of this book is the true faces of pro wrestlers told through the masters. When the newly launched New Japan Pro Wrestling held its first match in Kumamoto, many of Japan's top wrestlers, including 18-year-old Tatsumi Fujinami (later 'Tatsumi') who came to promote the store, showed their unadorned presence. For veteran Pro Wrestling fans, there are legends born only from the master's own martial arts experience, such as the nostalgic "battle" with Tiger Jeet Singh.
Additionally, the untold journey of HAYABUSA (from Kumamoto), who captivated them with their brilliant aerial techniques, and their close friend Mr. Karinosuke, revealed by the master who has watched over them since their student days.
The bronze statue of Antonio Inoki , once featured in a Pro Wrestling magazine and captivating the hearts of Pro Wrestling boys, is actually the work of the master's heart. The behind-the-scenes story with Mr. Inoki who created this statue is deeply moving.
The author is Hisatomo Araki, who has attended MAN for many years as a customer himself. The precise and dramatic match developments, backed by outstanding Pro Wrestling knowledge, will excite readers' imaginations to the limit.
