スマッシュ! [Smash!]

From 2006 to 2010, Kōdansha published Smash!, a compact 18-issue series that brought a brisk, high-energy sensibility to its storytelling. Most associated with its core creative team, the series carved out a distinct space in the mid-2000s manga landscape with its focused run and dynamic approach. It remains a noteworthy example of a short, self-contained work from a major publisher during that era.
