An addictive manga by Tezuka, Osamu Aka:Jesus. I love how Dr.Tatsuguara was so obstinate to prove his theory that he didn't even listen to his subordinates... that is until he got the disease. 9/10

Such a great manga. Listened to Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell" while reading the last chapter. Really added something extra to it


The series was wrapped up very nicely. The line "something for another tale" is really thought provoking. Those who think the story ends here, are quite at wrong. There are lots of things like what happened with Kirihito and Izumi. However the question that kept arising in my mind was Helen's child. How would have been his life growing up and facing people's taunts on having a mother like that

Only Tezuka can create such classic stuff.

...and I had a feeling like reading manga soap opera. I read it because it's a classic, but most probably I'll never recommend it to anyone. The story telling is timeless, so argument that I don't see beyond it, are worthless. It's too much dramatic and exaggerated, art and story both. Mix of cartoonish and dramatic frames felt like mixing sour cucumbers with cake that has gone bad.
If it didn't have name Tezuka under its title I doubt it would have such a high score.

Old man was stubborn till the end eh? At least he got what's coming to him in the end. Also, I was hoping for Izumi and Kirihito to finally have a proper reunion but this ending was good enough I guess.

Ugh, it was a chore to finish reading this. It was really interesting in the start but got too repetitive later on. :/ I'm a fan of Tezuka's one volume works, but not this one..
