Kabu no Isaki (カブのイサキ), literally Isaki of the Cub, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hitoshi Ashinano. It first appeared in the August 2007 issue as a one-shot and subsequently became a semi-regular feature in Kodansha'a Monthly Afternoon manga magazine. The series ended in the January 2013 issue, and the final volume was released in January 2013 as well. Kabu no Isaki shares many characteristic hallmarks of Ashinano's style: fascination with aeronautical themes; a setting in the future; a setting on and around the Miura peninsula; a vision of Japan that is isolated and nostalgic; and a natural world full of mystery that the protagonists explore with a sense of wonder. As such there are many parallels with Ashinano's previous work Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō. Source: Wikipedia (en)
