Synopsis "Asadora! , Vol. 5: Volume 5 "

A deadly typhoon, a mysterious creature and a girl who won't quit. In 2020, a large creature rampages through Tokyo, destroying everything in its path. In 1959, Asa Asada, a spunky young girl from a huge family in Nagoya, is kidnapped for ransom--and not a soul notices. When a typhoon hits Nagoya, Asa and her kidnapper must work together to survive. But there's more to her kidnapper and this storm than meets the eye. Asa and Nakaido fly out to take a closer look at the mysterious creature that has appeared off the coast of Japan. As the creature threatens them with its sharp teeth and spiky tail, Nakaido works to decipher his mentor's notes and find its weakness. But their attempts to take down the beast are in vain when it makes its way for land!

Naoki Urasawa was born on January 2, 1960 in Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan. From a young age, he showed an exceptional inclination for drawing, copying the comics of Osamu Tezuka and developing an artistic sensitivity that would lead him to revolutionize Japanese manga. He studied Economics at Meisei University, but soon set aside any other career to fully dedicate himself to manga creation, after winning the Shogakukan award for new artists in 1982.

He is known for his ability to combine suspense, intrigue, and psychological depth in stories that explore the limits of morality and identity. He has worked closely with editor and screenwriter Takashi Nagasaki, and is considered one of the authors who have changed the history of manga. His narrative is characterized by complex plots, multifaceted characters, and meticulous attention to detail.

His most important works are: Yawara! (1986-1993), Pineapple Army (1985-1988), Happy! (1993-1999), Monster (1994-2001), 20th Century Boys (1999-2006) and 21st Century Boys (2007), Pluto (2003-2009), Billy Bat (2008-2016), Asadora! (2018-present).
