Yoshihiro Takahashi first dog manga "My Alps"

[Wisp]

I read in interview with Yoshihiro Takahashi that his second work overall was about boy and his dog named Alps. Translator titled it ''My Alps''/'Ore no Alps''. おれのアルプス


I would love to read it, it looks amazing and even more amazing that it is a Yoshihiro Takahashi first dog story!
Is it accessible anywhere in English?

I don't think so.

A lot of these sorts of short stories don't get published anywhere but the original magazine, so someone would have to buy the exact issue to get scans, and most of these older Jumps are in pretty poor condition

According to http://gingadog.com/theme/saku.html the jump image posted is one from 1977? Or is that just the jump that has the prize news inside it...
I use comicvine for the shonen archive and found it:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/weekly-s ... 00-541688/
Unfortunately this one doesn't have the full contents listed and I haven't been able to find it sold on mercari or YJA to cross reference, maybe someone else might have better luck. Here's the search term:
週刊少年ジャンプ 1977

I like collecting the one-shot dog stories so if anyone can find it and confirm the story is in fact inside it, I'll get it.

Edit: I was incorrect, it's allegedly in a 1972 issue but I can't for the life of me find it in any of the 1972 issues in the archive.

It's 1973 issue 35, going by this page.

There's one copy for sale on Mercari at the moment (and the cover does mention Ore no Alps, so it is the correct issue), though it's 6265 yen and there's no picture of the pages themselves, so there's no way to tell what condition they're in.

I also see he writed under a pen name here, with "hiro" in "Yoshihiro" being in other kanji 義広 then his real name 義廣.

Thanks Digsu, the only other one I could find sold on mandarake for 6,500 yen.
I've put in a request to buy it

It would be so nice to be able to read this. I love these sorts of old, hidden/forgotten works. It would be amazing to see how his writing and art style has developed too.

[Arano]

Update: the Jump is finally on its way to me! It took a month for the seller to send it to my proxy.

I'm moving in a few weeks so it may take a while for me to get my scanner set up and get the job done (with Digsu's translation help if there isn't too much bleed damage which tends to happen with these older books). As soon as it arrives I'll post some pictures of the artwork

[Sandatora]

Exciting to hear!

I'm so exited!

[LIBRAKIND]

Oh this is interesting!! I hope this is in decent condition so scans could be possible

[Nara]

Oh wow, I'm so excited to FINALLY see more art from it and possibly even read it! For years all that was available online was that one low quality picture we've all seen.

[Wisp]

I'm very excited to read it! AAAA

[Arano]

It's here! A couple of token images of the dog in the spoilers because it is so adorable.

SPOILER

Guessing it is based on a Labrador going by the ears

The quality for such an old book is actually really good and way better than I'm expecting.
