All right!  It may have taken longer than expected, but the second volume of the massive five volume epic that is destined to be the last word in mountaineering manga is now out at the front of the Copacetic table of new arrivals.  Jiro Taniguchi is simply one of the best visual story-tellers out there, and with the help of scripter Yumemakura Baku he has here managed to produce his longest sustained narrative.  Thrills, suspense, intrigue – it's all here.  Read more about this work in our listing for the first volume.
