Salaryman Kintarō


Salaryman Kintaro is a Japanese manga series by Hiroshi Motomiya. It was serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 1994 to 2002, with many periods of inactivity during its run. Salaryman Kintaro had sold over 30 million copies in print.
The manga follows Kintarō Yajima, a former Bōsōzoku leader who, as a promise to his late wife, has become a salaryman. In 2005, Kintarō went from working as a salaryman to working for a foreign bank.
In 2005, Salaryman Kintaro began appearing as an online comic and eventually returned to Young Jump.
While the manga is not available in print in English, all 30 volumes and part of the sequel had been translated into English and were available through the Comic Friends Facebook app. However, in December 2018 Comic Friends announced that it would no longer be doing business in America. In July 2020, manga subscription service Manga Planet had announced that they had licensed the manga.
