Overview
Tetsuko no Tabi is a non-fiction manga series inspired by Getting On and Off of JR's 4600 Stations, a book by documenting his journey to every train station in Japan. The project began when Shogakukan's Monthly Ikki editor-in-chief sought to adapt Yokomi's travels into manga. Shogakukan editor and avid railfan Masahiko Ishikawa then recruited Naoe Kikuchi—a rising artist who had previously worked on shorts for the publisher—marking her debut serialized work. The series follows Kikuchi herself as she travels alongside Yokomi and Ishikawa, transforming their real-life adventures into manga.Characters
