About the series
In the early 2000s, Viz Media brought Tokihiko Matsuura's Tuxedo Gin to English-speaking readers, a 15-issue series blending romantic comedy with supernatural absurdity. The story follows a young boxer who, after a tragic death, is reincarnated as a penguin—and must win back his girlfriend while trapped in his tuxedo-clad avian form. Matsuura’s distinctive art and offbeat humor made this a memorable, quirky entry in the manga boom of the era.
