Jungle Kurobe
Jungle Kurobe (ジャングル黒べえ, Janguru Kurobē) is a manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko F. Fujio, which was serialized between February and November 1973.
It tells the adventures of a Tarzanesque child and his friends in modern Tokyo. It consists of 31 episodes and was originally broadcast on TV Asahi. The show is most famous for having initial character designs by famous anime director Hayao Miyazaki of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, though due to Fujiko F Fujio's involvement, the final designs were done by Yoshio Kabashima, known for his work on Gamba no Bouken and Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo.
In 1989, its manga and anime were pulled from circulation after a chapter from Obake no Q-Tarō was deemed "racially offensive for its portrayal of Africans" and essentially became banned in Japan. However, the series was reprinted as part of the Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio collection in 2010 and TMS released the show in 2015 on DVD alongside Umeboshi Denka, with a reprint being issued in 2024.
The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's educational magazines from February (March issue) to November (December issue) in 1973 to coincide roughly with the anime version, as well as in the Osaka evening edition of the Mainichi Shimbun.
After this, a few chapters were included in other works by the author, including Bakeru-kun and Big Korotan's Fujiko Manga Heroes All Together.
The series was then collected into the Fujiko Fujio Land collection in 1988, though excluded some chapters and other material.
The following year it was abruptly pulled from circulation entirely in response to the pulling of a chapter from Obake no Q-Tarō circulation, resulting it becoming a "sealed work".
The series only was republished as part of the Complete Works of Fujiko F. Fujio collection starting in 2010, containing disclaimers for any content possibly deemed discriminatory and includes all chapters and some extra material in its volume.
