Celebrating 20 Years Of Pokémon Adventures

This month is Manga Month, and we are featuring one of the most popular and longest running all-ages manga series to date: Pokémon Adventures from Viz Media! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this iconic manga, Viz Media is releaseing The  Art of Pokémon Adventures (JUN172133), a full-color art book featuring never-before-seen illustrations, sketches, and story boards from Pokémon Adventures. This book takes you through every arc of the manga series which in turn tie into each iteration of the popular video game series from Red and Blue onward.

Pokémon has never been bigger, and with the release last year of Pokémon Go! and the latest games for Nintendo's handheld consoles, there's no doubt that the property will live for generations to come. VIZ Media explores the artistry of the graphic novel series inspired by the franchise in The  Art of Pokémon Adventures, written by Hidenori Kusaka and illustrated by Satoshi Yamamoto. This artbook delves into twenty years' worth of material, from sketches to final art, and features a manga short story published in English for the first time by Pokémon Adventures writer and artist Satoshi Yamamoto. If you love the world of Pokémon, its characters, and its monsters, The  Art of Pokémon Adventures deserves a place in your library!
