VIZ is publishing Shinsuke Nakamura's autobiography
Apparently before his current WWE run, Shinsuke Nakamura wrote his own biography for the Japanese fans that knew him from his tenure in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Now VIZ Media, publisher of most of the manga everyone knows, is translating that book and bringing it to American shores.
And it's got a wicked cover to go with it.
King of Strong Style 1980-2014 drops on August 8.
I am anything but a huge manga reader, but I am a sucker for a wrestling biography. Shinsuke definitely falls into the "very interested" category for yours truly.
Is Shinsuke's biography something you're interested in?
