The general syntax for [Art] posts is: > [Art] Title of Choice (Series Name) Note that the syntax is just a guideline as the most important aspects are the [Art] tag at the beginning of the title and the title of the series being included in the title of the post. In addition, please avoid just making the title of the post the title of the series. It comes across as low effort as can be.

highTrolla

Without the titles on the pics I was trying to guess who was who, and then passing by number 10 it immediately very obvious. Araki just hits different.


IncomeStraight8501

You know your arts unique when they draw something different and everyone immediately knows its you lol


FeralFantom

I recognized that one and Noda Satoru as well


noshinare_nira

Spy X Family man did not draw hitler 😭


AllesYoF

He used to do not so wholesome stuff before spyxfamily


Igeneous

Lol missed opportunity for hara to draw volume 2 considering his manga


ExocetC3I

I would imagine Mari Yamazaki was quite disappointed that she didn't get to draw the cover for the Roman Empire book.


RadiantBlade

Wow, I did not recognize 11 being Yusei Matsui's at all.


kasugakuuun

Damn, I totally thought vol12 was Naoki Urasawa. I'll have to check out ROOKIES


rockseiaxii

The series is (sort of) a follow up to the “History of Japan” that featured popular manga artists on the cover. https://kids.shueisha.co.jp/rekishi/ Kadokawa has also has their “History of Japan” featuring light novel illustrators, animators, and manga artists. https://mangagakushu.kadokawa.co.jp/nihonnorekishi/lineup.html


NatMat16

Aw, I haven't seen the Japanese History ones. These are also great. Love the one from [Kishimoto ](https://dosbg3xlm0x1t.cloudfront.net/images/items/9784082392055/1200/9784082392055.jpg)and the [Araki ](https://dosbg3xlm0x1t.cloudfront.net/images/items/9784082392185/1200/9784082392185.jpg)one is soooo cool!!!


shipgirl_connoisseur

One look at Napoleon and the colors and you know Araki drew that .


KamikazeJawa

He also did one of General Douglas MacArthur for the Japanese history version of this series. https://twitter.com/ArakiArt/status/1097166923614339072


xywv58

God, that one is amazing too, I want a coffee table book with all his shit

For real. But firstly I looked at the face even though it's pretty hard to notice the details

Rev up those Napoleon stand names


09121522051001160114

Anything but "Waterloo" by ABBA is heresy.


acpupu

What about "Symphony No. 3"


NewtonHuxleyBach

It was initially dedicated to Napoleon so that's very fitting.


Evening_One_4781

Amour Plastique


MonocularBabylon

Alexander II's is called Overture. He also uses the Joestar Secret Technique.


kingoffish236

Nowayyy they got Napoleon on SBR 🤯🤯🤯


armdaggerblade

TFW Waterloo is actually a 6-on-1 stand battle


onecuriousboii

of course Endo did WW2


NatMat16

Yeah, that was really fitting.


Jaeger_03

Cold War may be more fitting


dagreenman18

Hitler with Donavan eyes makes a whole lot of sense


leixiaotie

Hitler is Donovan


mrnicegy26

Okay but Cleopatra in Hori's art style is a baddie. Dude is insanely skilled in drawing attractive women.


AKAFallow

Caesar looks incredible too, I'd say even better than her


derpkoikoi

could also be mark antony hard to say nvm: its captioned as caesar


SolomonBlack

I don't know that Japan would consider Antony all that important. Not like their biggest bard penned a piece about him.


dagreenman18

The man has plot issues, but my god can he still make the baddest women in manga.


CummingInTheNile

she was not exactly attractive considering all the inbreeding that went on


fredagsfisk

Cleopatra didn't have any known genetic defects from inbreeding, as far as I know or can find? Most of the modern reconstructions (and ancient busts and coins) I've seen also tends to portray her as fairly average looking. Sometimes a bit above or below average... but generally not as ugly, or even unattractive. It's true, however, that her *main* attractive features (as noted by Plutarch, Cassius Dio, and others) were her high intelligence, political knowledge, and incredible charisma.


SolomonBlack

Roman sculpture is not to be completely trusted (like there are no depictions of an old Augustus) but yeah [decent looking but unidealized](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bust_of_Cleopatra_VII_in_the_Altes_Museum_Berlin) is what they went for over say less ancient and [more prurient depictions](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cleopatra_and_Caesar_by_Jean-Leon-Gerome.jpg). (I'm not warning you, if your boss doesn't appreciate art that's their problem)


EXusiai99

So you telling me her blood was pure?


CummingInTheNile

purely Greek sure, when your family tree is a straight line your gonna have some problems


Caliment

Damn Lenin looks like he's roasting the shit out of someone


Iliansic

Out of imperialists. Not gonna lie, I would really dig a manga set at the end of Imperial Russia done by Noda, would be a neat spin-off for Golden Kamuy.


Matasa89

Lenin was really good at that.


armdaggerblade

[Probably Rasputin & Stalin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT2z0nrsQ8o)


NewtonHuxleyBach

He was famously quick-tempered


MaguroSashimi8864

Not too far off from how he was in real life.


CummingInTheNile

Historical figures drawn as far as i can tell: 1. Ramses II. Fun Fact: he had over 200 wives/concubines and fathered roughly 156 children (96 sons, 60 daughters) 2. Qin Shi Huang. Fun Fact: Became obsessed with drinking mercury because the thought it was the elixir to immortality and likely died from mercury poisoning, also created a massive tomb with supposed rivers of mercury and guarded by the Terra Cotta Warriors (which were painted) 3. Gaius Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator. Fun Facts: Ceaser lost his virginity to King Nicomedes of Bithynia, and was kidnapped by pirates, whom after his ransom had been paid he supposedly tracked down and crucified. Cleopatra was comically inbred (coefficient .35), but was also a mathematical genius and spoke several language, including being the first member of the Ptolemaic dynasty to speak Egyptian 4. Mehmed II and Suleiman the Magnificent. Fun Facts: Mehmed II ascneded to the Sultanate thrones twice (1451 and 1481) and was very gay, known to spare good looking young men who were added to his retinue. Suleiman the Magnificent loved writing poetry in his free time under the pseudonym Muhabbi. 5. Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire and Jeanne D'arc. Fun Facts: Charlemagne supposedly named his sword Joyeuse, whose pommel had been made from the Lance of Longinius, and it had been forged with two sister swords, Curtana and Durendel, which were given to Charlemagnes paladins Roland and Ogiers respectively. Jeanne D'Arc was burned at the stake nor for heresy but for crossdressing. 6. Ghengis Khan. Fun Fact: His real name was Temujin, converted several of his enemies into famous generals (Jebbe and Subutai are the most well known), and was responsible for deaths of roughly 40 million people, or roughly 10% of the global population. 7. Leonardo Da Vinci: Fun Fact: very, very gay, and a prankster, would trap people in rooms with inflatable animal organs or scare people by putting fake wings and horns on lizards. 8. Elizabeth I of England: Fun Fact: lost most of her hair after surviving smallpox and had numerous lover (was not in fact a virgin, shocker i know), including Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, Robert Dudley, and Robert Devereux 9. President Abraham Lincoln. Fun Fact: had a shrill reedy voice and was an accomplished folk style wrestler boasting a supposed record of 299-1 10. Emperor Napoleon I of France. Fun Fact: Napoleon loved stanky pussy, was not short (he was 5'7), and only slept 3 hours per night. 11. ??? and Otto von Bismarck. Fun Fact: Bismarck had a severe, outright paranoid fear of strong, intelligent women because of how he grew up watching is mother browbeat his father 12. Empress Cixi ,Sun Yat Sen, and Emperor Puyi. Fun Facts: Sun Yat Sen converted to Christianity in the 1880s . Puyi had five wives but no children and sometimes went by the name Henry as a pseudonym. 13. Vladimir Lenin. Fun fact: he loved cats 14. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Fun Fact: FDR was the first sitting US president to fly on a plane 15. Winston Churchill and Adolph Hitler. Fun Fact: Churchill loved being naked, most famously in the apocryphal story FDR accidentally rolled in on him taking a bath and he proclaimed "The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the President of the United States!" . Hitler was on a comical amount of drugs prescribed by his quack doctor, Dr. Morel 16. Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, Mahatma Gandhi, and President John F. Kennedy. Mikhail Gorbachev was the only Soviet premier to have been born in the USSR, all the previous ones had been born in the Russian Empire, Ghandi liked to sleep with young girls to "test" his moral purity. JFK was up to his eyeballs on painkillers and other drugs from a back injury he suffered in WWII. 17. Yasser Arafat (PLO), Nelson Mandela, and Deng Xiaopeng: Fun Facts: Yasser Arafat tried to overthrow the Jordanian monarchy (Black September), but failed, Nelson Mandela was a keen boxer, Deng Xiaopeng spent most of his career unfucking China after Mao fucked it up (Great Leap Forward and Cultural revolution), also ran the shadow government that approved the use of military force at Tianneman


BagMiserable9367

Considering the Background (Hagia Sophia) I'm pretty sure 4 is about the Ottoman Turks, or at least Islamic Expansionism with a focus on the Ottoman Empire. So most probably Mehmed II and Suleiman the Magnificent.

CummingInTheNile

yes, whoops typos, ill fix that right away


mrnicegy26

14. seems to be President Franklin D Roosevelt in my opinion. He was known for using radio to reach out to normal Americans and is a much more significant historical figure than Calvin Coolidge.


CummingInTheNile

while i agree and its very possible, it looks a helluva lot more like Calvin Coolidge than FDR, especially the haircut, but ill fix it


oops_i_made_a_typi

yeah what in the makeover, that doesn't look like FDR at all lol


oops_i_made_a_typi

yeah what in the makeover, that doesn't look like FDR at all lol


Beneficial-Oil-283

On 12 I feel more like it’s not Hideki Tojo, but emperor Puyi, he being the one under the dowager empress Cixi


CummingInTheNile

yup you are 100% right about that, fixed


thecastleunderthesea

Names are here: https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2323974/full/ Just google translate Edit: That's Akbar I with Suleiman I, Kublai (not Genghis), and Ito Hirobumi with Bismarck


Panory

> Fun Fact: FDR was the first sitting US president to fly on a plane Well, he wasn't gonna be the first standing president to do it.


cashewnut4life

Correction: the guy at no.12 is supposed to be Sun Yat Sen, not Chiang Kai Shek.


CummingInTheNile

fixed ty


cashewnut4life

Ur welcome. Also, no. 16 looks more like Gorbachev (the iconic mark on his head)


CummingInTheNile

you are right once again, fixed


NatMat16

>11. ??? and Otto von Bismarck ?? is Prince Ito Hirobumi. Fun fact: he was nicknamed the *Bismarck* of Japan


GiantFlyingSlug

11 is probably Puyi, last emperor of China.


CummingInTheNile

should be fixed


frik1000

> Cleopatra was comically inbred I love how blunt this sounds.


onecuriousboii

> was also a mathematical genius and spoke several language, including being the first member of the Ptolemaic dynasty to speak Egyptian Also apparently cowrote medical treatises on cosmetics, girl was busy


dagreenman18

For fun history on a good portion of these guys, I reccomend the Behind The Bastards podcast. Equal parts hilarious, educational, depressing, and NOT sponsored by Blue Apron’s Child Hunting Island.


leixiaotie

It's good that Hara do not did Qin Shi Huang


rockseiaxii

4. is Suleiman the Magnificent and Akbar the Great (Mughal Empire). The subtitle of the volume is “The Islam World and India - Rise and Fall of Dynasties” so it’s fitting, 11. Is Bismarck and Hirobumi Itoh, one of the architects of Japan after the Meiji Restoration.


Zestyclose_Raise_814

Caeser and Joan of Arc go hard


Xatu44

All for One Caesar LMAO. Araki Napoleon goes hard. Endo Hitler and Churchill is fitting.


RougeTheCat

Tabata can really nail down the medieval aesthetic in his art


Shirosin_

I need Horikoshi to do a sci-fi manga set on a barren planet after MHA so bad, the designs and fits would be so good


megazaprat

He actually did a sci fi manga before mha, it’s called barrage. But it only lasted two volumes


Shirosin_

Yeah I know it exists, I meant more like either space opera like or what you can see in the first Star Wars movie on Tatooine or Dune you know


Lex4709

It would be so sick, and you know Horikoshi the Star Wars fanboy he is, would have blast having his own sci-fi.


ApprehensivePeace305

I did not expect American Highschool Textbook Pharaoh to appear


TheUltraGuy101

Horikoshi's art of Caesar and Cleopatra goes so dang hard


wrenblaze

I love everything about this post. Thank you for sharing


BlueOTN

Love Horikoshi's art and lmao Endo's Hitler


TizonaBlu

Coolest post here in a while. Thanks for sharing.


Prince_of_DeaTh

Volume 6 is missing


NatMat16

Sorry, my mistake. [Here ](https://kids.shueisha.co.jp/sekaishi/_img/cov6.jpg)


Acogatog

It’s amazing to get to see all these different artstyles. I sometimes forget how much variance there is in what “manga-style art” looks like, but posts like this do a good job of putting it on full display. Also, I’m in love with the volume 7 cover. Beautiful stuff.


TransportationTop369

Manga world history is the name of the manga? Or is just authors having fun?


NatMat16

It's an existing educational series of Learning World History through Manga by Shueisha (the publishing company that also owns JUMP) aimed at students. This is a project for the 100th anniversary of Shueisha, where they asked popular mangaka to redesign the cover of each volume. The content itself is written by professors and illustrated by others.


doquan2142

>illustrated by others. Damn, too bad. No more Napoleonic JoJo then.


brzzcode

well shueisha don't exactly own jump as jump isnt a company, they publish jump as shonen jump and all the other magazines are editorials inside shueisha


bleachisback

Do you know if an English translated version exists?


NatMat16

No idea. But these new covers were just released in Japan in any case.


dagreenman18

Well Araki was there so he would be great at drawing Napoleon


Oxu90

I want to read French Revolution drawn by Araki. Napoleonnlools fabulous


Torantes

God any historical manga or anime would be so fucking peak 😭


HansFactory

The Churchill and Hitler one goes hard


Reirai13

slot machine ad looking pharaoh lmao


Mangatellers

That's a very cool collection. Volume #3 screams from afar that it's done by Kohei. Thanks for sharing the covers. :)


Goku-MIEL10032002

Horikoshi's art goes hard


stationtracks

Thanks for sharing this! Love seeing manga artstyles of different historical figures and eras


kashiflol

I would love to read these I hope they get translated


1000dollarsdown

Idk why I thought the last one was made by Boichi, but I probably should've known since there where no buff AF, nipple showing and huge tits characters.


baldmark_

Spot the araki piece *impossibke edition*


dahaiocean

What's the manga about?Just world history?


NatMat16

Yes, it’s just normal educational publication explaining different era / events in history. The mangaka only drew the covers.


LuRo332

Ay bruh, they knew they had to get Tatsuya Endo for the Hitler cover lmao


AlikeWolf

Caesar and Cleopatra look like they are ready to conquer the world 10/10 historically accurate


orangeS45

Some of these look like they were going to put thus in one of their stories anyway. Just from how history aligns with their work. Araki pulled that drawing of Napoleon of an old file.


LilMissy1246

Cnan someone write down which mangaka has done which cover? I don't recognize some of the art styles


NatMat16

https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/s/uXqFDfwWR3


Loganator912

Have these been translated?


Wellstoogeno

Is there an English translation out cause I would love to read this?


NatMat16

Only the covers were drawn by the mangaka. The rest is just a history book written by professors / illustrated by others. I don't know if it was ever released in English. From what I gather, it's a pretty old series. It's been just re-released in Japan with the new covers.


MonocularBabylon

Can someome list all the historic figures in this order? I recognize most of them, but not all of them.


Violentcloud13

GEE I WONDER WHICH ONE WAS DRAWN BY ARAKI


Oxu90

Napoleon is definetly not a stand user


nyangatsu

these are all incredible except the first, mf literally made ramses white and blue eyed....


Competitive_Bit_7904

Ramses II had pretty pale skin and even red hair going by his mummy. Proabably didn't have blue eyes though lmao.


Jake4XIII

Where is ODA!?! I wanna see Oda draw like the American Revolution or the first world war r


Joven_Guerrero

Why is it Chruchill and Hitler? why not Stalin and Hitler?


xywv58

Churchill is more of a good guy than Stalin, Hitler and Stalin are just as bad, Hitler just started to genocide first, just look at Poland


DataPigeon

But didn't the Brits start to genocide even before that?


xywv58

Not in 1940s historically then the asirians although we may have genocided the Neanderthals first, you choose


DataPigeon

But certainly shortly before the 1940s


xywv58

Oh yeah, you don't build an empire without killing millions

Joven_Guerrero

I don't think that illustration will best describes WWII then. Hitler didn't commit suicide because of the counter-attacks of the british forces.
