5.0

An amazing reimagining of Tezuka's original short story that fully unpacks themes he only hinted at, while adding more nuanced emotional depth and political subtext, for a story that remains timely and even more relevant 20 years later.

Not just my favorite manga so far, but officially one of my favorite overall series ever!
