Review
"Tezuka's work is about as essential and far-reaching as manga gets, and "Apollo's Song" only adds that much more weight to an already massive reputation. Start here, and if you're intrigued, "Ode to Kirihito" and "Buddha "also await you. There's never been anything like Tezuka's body of work, and there probably never will be again." - Serdar Yegulalp
"Osamu Tezuka invented a whole new grammar of comics storytelling and his place in the history of Japanese comics is about as central as Siddhartha's place in the history of Buddhism." "- Art Spiegelman
""Sleek in design and swift in pacing, the story's blend of mayhem and laffs and depression creates a uniquely chaotic world... The monster designs are excellent, ranging from detailed etchings to gargantuan masses of doomy scribbles."" --Jog-The Blog
""Tezuka's masterwork is an enlightening demonstration of the limitless potential of the comics medium."- "Gordon Flagg"
"It's the pioneer of the manga tradition wading neck deep into the mire of freakish swordsmen, ghouls and historical messiness: Kurosawa and Leone meets Romero... Dororo stands as a classic that showcases Osamu Tezuka's unique approach to manga and to the world." --"Ain't It Cool News"
"Platinum Award. Tezuka blends high-adventure plotting with deep and thoughtful themes in his inimitable style... It seems a shame it's only all been in Japanese until now." --Advanced Media Network
"The pacing is blistering...Osamu Tezuka's ability to immerse his readers in the lives and hardships of his characters is staggering.At its core, "Dororo" is an awesome action/adventure title with strong characterizations and a gripping setting." -- "Manga Maniac Cafe"
"
""He (Osamu Tezuka) wasn't only an artist, but a phenomenal story teller, director, and editor. I can't say enough about this man and if you've never read anything by him, do yourself a favor and let this book introduce you to the world that he created. You can't have a manga collection without this book in your library." --"About Heroes
""Simply put, Vertical's English translation of Osamu Tezuka's late '60s swords-and-goblins saga is a work of such genius that one must term it not only inspired but also inspiring--it's a reminder of why one reads manga in the first place. Exquisitely rendered and mind-bogglingly creative."" --Firefox News"

Product Description
Tezuka's classic thriller manga featuring a youth who has been robbed of 48 body parts by devils and his epic struggle against a host of demons to get them back. Daigo Kagemitsu, who works for a samurai general in Japan's Warring States period, promises to offer body parts of his unborn baby to 48 devils in exchange for complete domination of the country. Knowing the child to be deficient, Kagemitsu oderes the newborn to be thrown into the river. The baby survives and, in time, searches the world for the 48 demons. Each time he eliminates one, he retrieves one of his parts.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Classic 1960s comic book series from the "god of manga", 4 May 2008 By  Alan Kasim (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    `Dororo' tells the story of Hyakkimaru, a traveller born with no body parts, and Dororo, a pesky child who he meets that follows him on his journeys. While essentially not much different from your typical manga series about travellers, the strengths here lie in its engaging characters and interesting back stories. On the art side, Osamu Tezuka's drawings are beautiful from beginning to end. The art is as imaginative and playful as anything else Tezuka has drawn, but at times is also incredibly strange and eerie. Overall, it's a solid and enjoyable read for fans of the classics.
