Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Drops of God (Kami no Shizuku) is a manga written by Tadashi Aginote a pseudonym of siblings Yuko and Shin Kobayashi and illustrated by Shu Okimoto. It was serialized in Weekly Morning from 2004 to 2014, and compiled into 44 volumes. It started being released in the United States in late 2011 by Vertical, under the title The Drops Of God. However, releases in the US came to a grinding halt, due to low sales numbers. To add insult to injury, the author requested that the release skip about 120 chapters and jump to the so-called New World arc, a decision that was received with contempt by readers. However, the license was picked up by a collaboration of Kodansha Comics and Comixology Originals in 2019, with plans to release the entire series in digital format.Shizuku Kanzaki is an average office worker at a beer company. One day, he receives the news of the death of his estranged father, Yutaka Kanzaki, a world-renowned wine critic. Shizuku was trained from an early age to be a terrific wine taster, but he rebelled against his father and now disregards wine. In his father's will, it is stated that he will leave the house, his wine collection and a sum of two billion yen to Shizuku, so long as he can identify which wines are the "Twelve Apostles" and "The Drops of God". Shizuku would have refused the inheritance, if not for the fact that Issei Tomine, a renowned young wine critic whom Yutaka adopted just before dying, wants the wine collection for himself. Shizuku, together with apprentice sommelier Miyabi Shinohara, sets out into the world of wine, armed with strong senses and an uncanny ability to describe each and every wine.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This manga is most notable for being extremely influential on the Eastern wine business, especially as it shot up little known wines to fame and overall increased wine sales exponentially.A live-action adaptation was made in 2009. | |
