How Osamu Tezuka Became the God of Manga

Osamu Tezuka posthumously is known as the godfather of manga, the father of manga, or just simply the god of manga. In this video, we will take a closer look at Tezuka-san's life and his work. We will start with Astro Boy, Tezuka's most well-known and adapted work. Without Astro Boy, modern Shounen manga would be a vastly different reading experience. Then we will move into Tezuka's later years as we look at Ayako, a gripping character-driven story surrounding the horrors of the Tenge family. Without Osamu Tezuka's work, Eastern comic book writing would be VASTLY different today, and so many mangakas may never have started comic book writing without the vast array of Tezuka's work to reference from.
