Nextworld is a manga written by the famous Tezuka Osamu in 1951. As said in the after notes, Tezuka removed over 400 pages for the release, originally being 1000 pages long. The artwork is influenced by old western cartoons, as usual.
Note: Tezuka did not intend for this to be an "imitation" or a "rip-off" of the HG Wells film 'Things to Come', as he found the film boring. Anyway, Dark Horse Comics release this manga along with several of his other works.
Story: The concept of the story is pretty interesting, as you can see from the synopsis above, but is driven down my aimless writing.

A sprawling and ambitious work by Osamu Tezuka. It's jam-packed from many of Tezuka's characters from his star-system. Notarin, Mitchy, Lamp, Hanamaru, as well as Kenichi, Ban, and Rock are all here. Unfortunately, it's one of his lesser-known manga. It switches from one character's perspective to another, with chapters usually being less than ten pages long.
