200 Volumes of 'Osamu Tezuka Bunko Complete Works' to be Made Available Digitally
All 200 volumes will be made available over a period of 10 months. The first batch made available on May 29 includes:
- Black Jack (12 volumes)
- Ribbon no Kishi (2 volumes)
- Dororo (2 volumes)
- Lost World and Metropolis (1 volume)
- Kitarubeki Sekai and Faust (1 volume)
- Atomcat (1 volume)
- Atom Konjaku Monogatari (1 volume)
- Shin Takarajima (1 volume)
Bunko edition releases contain considerably more pages than the standard manga tankobon releases, allowing for more material to be printed in a single volume. This format is widely used in republication of manga whose tankobon volumes may be out of print.
Apple's iBookstore, eBook Initiative Japan, Amazon.co.jp, Yahoo! Japan Bookstore, and Rakuten's Kobo are among the platforms which will publish these volumes digitally.

sadly so much missing
There will be more in the next installment. There's 200 volumes after all.
Hopefully we don't have to wait much long for the Astro boy volumes.
