One of the distinctive features of Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage is its ability to combine ancient and contemporary production methods. The company uses ancestral techniques to manufacture its works such as German letterpress presses from the 1960s, for its series of monochrome works or phototype, considered the oldest printing technique using pigment ink and gelatin for its prints. All these printing methods add the purest form of authenticity and a historical dimension to each print.

Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage does not simply reproduce pages from famous manga, it transforms them into art objects with deep meaning. Collaborations with artists and iconic scene choices enrich the project. For example, works from legendary manga such as One Piece , Bleach and The Rose of Versailles are part of the collections, these choices often being influenced by reader preferences or specific themes selected for their artistic value.

Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage stands in the world of Japanese animation as a bridge between past and present, between craftsmanship and technology, between present and future generations. It honors manga as a legitimate art form and transcends its limitations by transforming it into unique and timeless works.

Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage is a perfect example of how Japanese culture fuses tradition and innovation to create works that captivate and inspire the world.
