It's real, found it on amazon
I've never known penguin to commission cover art though. It might just be some stuff he did for another purpose

>>7905182
In Brazil, the Penguin label is published as a collaboration between local publisher Companhia das Letras (roughly translated Letters Co.) and Penguin Co., I guess the cover comission is something more to the side of Letters Co. as I remember the translator talking about he himself asked Joan to do the artwork. Interesting nonetheless, the traduction is top notch too.

few places.
It's on sale on amazon from some sketchy weeb shops. If you're in the US, I understand that there's a Japanese bookstore chain called Kinokuniya which has a handful of branches in some major cities.
Retails for around $50~70 and this is only part 1 of 2. The second volume is pic related
I used to have it but I literally left it in Japan. big mistake. long story.
