The series has been printed more than 15 million copies worldwide and has been credited with creating a wine boom in various parts of the world.

This is the second drop for the NFT series, where the original cover and background illustrations for volumes 11 and 12 of “Drops of God” are made into NFT Art.

Tadashi Agi’s Comment
Until now, only the manga artist himself and the designer have seen the memorable original cover illustrations for all 44 volumes of “The Drops of God”. The artworks that have been treasured are now able to be delivered by converting them into NFT.
Some are monochrome drawings, some are written with unexpected backgrounds, and there we found a world even the original authors didn’t know that existed. Some contents are produced by combining 2 or 3 contents into one. All of these are histories of “The Drops of God” themselves.
