Overview
Overview
Tetsuko no Tabi is a non-fiction manga series inspired by Getting On and Off of JR's 4600 Stations (1998), a book by Hirohiko Yokomi documenting his journey to every train station in Japan. The project began when Shogakukan's Monthly Ikki editor-in-chief Hideki Egami sought to adapt Yokomi's travels into manga. Shogakukan editor and avid railfan Masahiko Ishikawa then recruited Naoe Kikuchi—a rising artist who had previously worked on shorts for the publisher—marking her debut serialized work. The series follows Kikuchi herself as she travels alongside Yokomi and Ishikawa, transforming their real-life adventures into manga.
Characters
Characters
• Hirohiko Yokomi • Nobuyuki Hiyama • The travel-writer, who turns out to be a huge train-fan. He has a lot of energy and passion for trains, and sometimes girls, but also micro-manages all their trips, planning every detail down to the second. He cares mostly about following the schedule and successfully achieving his planned goals (e.g. visiting all stations on a line in a completely bizarre order to accommodate infrequent trains). • Naoe Kikuchi • Akira Tomisaka • A manga artist. She has no interest in trains whatsoever, and she keeps getting freaked out by Yokomi's antics. She is also cynical, sarcastic, and rather lazy, mainly looking forward to the next ekiben. • Masahiko Ishikawa • Tokuyoshi Kawashima • Kikuchi's editor, another train geek. • Masaki Kamimura • Tetsuharu Ōta • Kikuchi's second editor.
