新 やじきた道中記

Synopsis

**Yajisan and Kitasan's unusual journey: *Their unexpected companion is Sazae-san!?*** For the first time, the entire phantom series is collected in one book right up to the final episode! (new book published 09/Jul/2025) *New Journey of Yaji and Kita* is a parody manga of "[Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dkaid%C5%8Dch%C5%AB_Hizakurige)" written by [Hasegawa Machiko](https://mangadex.org/author/8f2e39bf-ed1a-4ee5-a36e-622a6dcb4d33/hasegawa-machiko), the creator of [Sazae-san](https://mangadex.org/title/701e67c9-45b2-459b-a517-a0cb9865def8/sazae-san). This is the first book to compile the entire series, originally serialized in "Weekly Asahi" in the 1940s, all the way to the final chapter. This title marks [Machiko](https://mangadex.org/author/8f2e39bf-ed1a-4ee5-a36e-622a6dcb4d33/hasegawa-machiko)'s first attempt at a period piece, a work beloved of kabuki and period dramas. It depicts the unusual journey of the beloved mismatched duo Yaji and Kita from Nihonbashi in Edo to Ise. Sazae-san even makes an appearance along the way. It was hugely popular when it was serialized in "[Weekly Asahi](https://www.mangaupdates.com/publishers/publication?name=Asahi+Shinbun)" and was even made into a film in 1952. It has been published in book form several times, but the story ends abruptly around Kuwana-juku (Mie Prefecture), leaving the final seven chapters unpublished. Four of the seven stories were later redrawn and included in another book ([Apron Obaa-san](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/qmfbqqq/apron-oba-san) Volume 5), but the remaining three chapters have never been published anywhere. This time, three stories not previously published in a book, including the final story, will be included for the first time. ___ [Hasegawa Machiko](https://mangadex.org/author/8f2e39bf-ed1a-4ee5-a36e-622a6dcb4d33/hasegawa-machiko), who loved Kabuki and period dramas, first tried her hand at serializing a topknot manga with "Shin Yajikita Douchuuki/New Journey of Yaji and Kita". It is an adaptation of "Tokai Dochu Hizakurige" by Jippensha Ikku, written in the Edo period, and depicts the amusing journey of Yaji-san and Kita-san from Edo to Ise. While incorporating episodes reminiscent of the original work, Machiko's unique humorous and fun journey unfolds, and the Sazae-san family also appears along the way. They will stop by real cities like : - Odawara - Hamamatsu - Okazaki
