TRACT pocket edition by Shintaro Kago

TRACT pocket edition is a compact A5 reprint of the earlier A4 edition, published by Hollow Press. This release is the ninth printing (October 2025) and is issued as a limited edition of 250 copies. The book is produced via digital printing and focuses on Shintaro Kago’s manga artwork in a portable format.

Designed for clear colour reproduction, TRACT pocket edition is printed on 170g paper and contains 64 full-colour pages. The book is a paperback with glue binding, made for direct reading rather than display-only handling. For collectors of Shintaro Kago and experimental manga publishing, the edition statement and production details matter as much as the content.

Editorial work is credited to Michele Nitri, with graphic design by Marco “Keno” Del Negro. A foreword by Christopher Butcher (comics journalist and festival director) frames the release within contemporary manga and comics discourse.

About Shintaro Kago

Shintaro Kago is a Japanese manga artist known for formally experimental comic structures and precise graphic drafting. His work often uses disruption of panel logic, visual repetition, and controlled absurdity. Within contemporary manga, he is frequently associated with the art-comics sphere and boundary-pushing publishing contexts.

For readers collecting manga as printed objects, Shintaro Kago’s books are also design statements. Format, reproduction, and editorial framing shape how the work is received. TRACT pocket edition keeps that focus in a small, production-specific edition.
