Abu-san (Japanese: あぶさん?) is a baseball manga series written and illustrated by Shinji Mizushima. It tells the story of fictional baseball player Yasutake Kageura (景浦安武 Kageura Yasutake?). It started to be serialized in 1973,[1] and ended on February 5, 2014 after 976 chapters.[2][3] The first manga volume was released on May 15, 1974[4] and the last one, the 107th volume, was released on March 28, 2014.[5]
In 1977, it received the Shogakukan Manga Award for seinen/general manga.[6] In 2004, Mizushima auctioned off the right to appear as a character in Abu-san for over ¥3 million, as a fundraiser for Mangajapan.[7] As of 2013, the series has sold over 22 million copies.[3]
