(Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kenshi Suzuki) will sequentially release SAN-EI comics 'Dokaben' Volumes 9 and 10 in bookstores nationwide from Monday, May 11, 2026.
In the 'Dokaben' series published by SAN-EI comics, the original manuscripts from that time have been carefully re-scanned. By reproducing the page layouts from its initial serialization in a boys' magazine, readers can experience the thrill of the original paneling and page-turning.
In May 2026, Volumes 9 and 10 will be released simultaneously. The fierce battle of the Koshien final against Iwaki Higashi High School and the Kanagawa Prefecture Autumn Tournament begins.
This time, we received a comment from Mr. Sadaharu Oh, Chairman of Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, for the obi (book band)!
Two volumes will be published simultaneously every month, releasing all 24 volumes over one year!
'Dokaben' is truly the originator of authentic baseball manga. Not only Shinji Mizushima fans and baseball manga fans, but also generations who enjoyed 'Dokaben' in their youth will be able to enjoy it nostalgically!
In 2026, please enjoy the numerous passionate matches unfolding in 'Dokaben' and the stories of youth dedicated to baseball, showcased by rivals from formidable schools!
