I Read Osamu Tezuka Manga for an ENTIRE WEEK.

[@ThePromG]

Have YOU read any Osamu Tezuka manga? If so, what was your favorite?

[@Norman_Minerva452]

Dororo

[@ThePromG]

@@Norman_Minerva452 Classic! Some of Tezuka’s best action series 🔥

[@aaaaaaaaaa63810]

Apollos song,message to adolf these are my personal favorites

[@ThePromG]

@@aaaaaaaaaa63810 Both incredible works, great taste 🙌

[@aaaaaaaaaa63810]

@@ThePromG apreaciate it👐,keep up with this amazing content ur smashing it

[@ArchAngelManga]

Nice! I really enjoyed the story in Melody of Iron about the woman who has the last moments of her late husband's life burned into her retinas. That's such a creepy concept

[@ThePromG]

Very creepy concept indeed, also loved the twist ending to that story!

[@ihatefanserviceanime364]

Phoenix is the best sci-fi manga ever

[@Hannutha420]

I read 1-3 storys of The Crater a day and really enjoyed all the different bits and pieces this book had to offer. Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it :) thanks for putting me on the tezuka train, I really love his Manga 👍

[@ThePromG]

That’s great to hear man, I’m looking forward to reading The Crater even more now! 😅

[@bizarreindividual4026]

First off congratulations on your goal! You did such a great job on it. Also this video was so much fun to watch. I will need to watch you more often next year! Happy New Years

[@ThePromG]

Thank you so much man, and happy holidays! 🙏

[@thequestyen]

Glad you enjoyed Barbara it's one of my favorite Tezuka's also. Fun fact about Under the Air only the version bought directly from the Platinum Manga site has nudity on the cover. The version sold in stores and Amazon for example has a black bar printed on the cover blocking it out.

[@ThePromG]

Very interesting, I didn’t even know that Platinum Manga had their books available in retail stores 😯

[@thequestyen]

Yeah their Tezuka books are available at Barnes & Noble and similar stores when they come out. They just don't reprint their series very much so once they sell out of the few copies they get I don't think they get more. @@ThePromG

[@themaestro2572]

Barbara was ok.

[@JFCSketch]

I like this format, I would watch more of these from other authors 🔥

[@ThePromG]

Thanks for the feedback! I could do an Asano one next year 🤔

[@Rorschachqp]

I'm still looking for the entire run of Phoenix but I do have a complete run of Blackjack.

[@ThePromG]

Last year I had an almost complete set of Phoenix, but sold them because 9-10 is just too hard to find. Hopefully Black Jack and Phoenix get reprinted in our lifetimes 😭🙏

[@Rorschachqp]

@@ThePromG Yeah exactly. I hope if it gets reprinted, all of the loose volumes people are holding for top dollar will come out. I reading list was so long with a lot of Tezuka's works were originally published in the US, I missed a lot of volumes. For a long time you could find OG Adolf volumes in the $1 bin. Until one day you couldn't.

[@nidoqueen106]

nice bro good luck reading those last 17 volumes ^^

[@ThePromG]

Thank you! 🙌

[@Sherry_Moon2]

Since you read alot of Osamu Tezuka work , would you like to made some best top 10 manga of Osamu Tezuka

[@ThePromG]

I plan on either doing this or a full ranking of all his English printed series (which is like 30 series lmao)

[@modernadmiral]

This is awesome. I have all these in my collection also... to be read in hopefully the not-too-distant-future. My "Under the air" has a horizontal black bar censoring the nips on the cover. Its a April 2017 first edition. Sounds like you got lucky and your printing didnt have the censoring. Great content. Excitied to dive into my own!

[@spectrumseb]

Great video concept ! Also, I love the eraserhead poster ! Do u have a favourite osamu tezuka work? I’ve not read a lot but I loved the book of human insects.

[@ThePromG]

Thank you so much! My favorite Tezuka work is Message to Adolf, but I would highly recommend basically everything he’s made past 1965 👍

[@spectrumseb]

@@ThePromG no worries ! I really want to read black jack, do u think it will get a reprint?

[@Rorschachqp]

@@spectrumseb You must pray to Vertical.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

I think I’m only at around 50% of my manga, I usually only manage 1-3 volumes per night.

[@ThePromG]

That’s more than me lol

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@ThePromGOh really? Ok so I’m doing good then, but I don’t think I’ll ever get to 100%, as I’m constantly buying more.

[@cecil8587]

I feel that. 2024 I'm setting a goal of reading 50% or higher of my collection. Start of 2024 to the end and if I don't meet that goal i'm selling off my whole collection.

[@ThePromG]

Those are pretty big stakes! Good luck with the challenge man 🙏

[@Rorschachqp]

@@ThePromG Depends on collection size. For example if that was my collection, you and I put together couldn't read it all in a year even if we read 10 volumes a day each.

[@cecil8587]

@@ThePromG thanks. Last time I counted almost a year ago I had 1k.

[@zebraurchin]

What about Buddha? Did you enjoy that one?

[@ThePromG]

Loved Buddha, one of the best historical manga ever

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

But the problem now is you have absolutely nothing to read, gonna have to start stocking up some manga.

[@ThePromG]

I plan to focus on re-reads in 2024, like Berserk and Blade of the Immortal. I’ll probably upload more arc/series reviews

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@ThePromG Oh nice, can’t wait for the Berserk video, can never have enough Berserk content, it’s my favourite manga, I’ll be starting my 4th reread now soon too as I got the 14th deluxe a while ago.

[@ponderingmonk525]

Still waiting for CR to transfer all of my wishlists from Risght Stuff. I’m falling behind lol

[@eroane84]

❤❤❤❤❤ YOU GO, MANGA DUDE❤❤❤❤ I have yet to read Osamu’s manga myself…^____< I love his manga artstyle…❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have been wanting to read his manga in Japanese but back when his manga was published in Japan there wasn’t much furigana yet… his manga in English is what I have as for no other options*sighs* Meh…^____~❤❤❤❤❤

[@CitronQ]

In 2024 you should check out some Leiji Matsumoto :)

[@ThePromG]

For sure, him and Nagai I definitely need to read more manga from

[@Rorschachqp]

Yeah the OG Galaxy Express was printed early in the US as comic books Captain Harlock and is very hard to find although nearly worthless. Luckily I believe they printed newer collected volumes so you can pay double digits.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Is $50 considered expensive for a volume? I payed more than that to get the missing 2 volumes of Hybrid Heart (an ecchi manga haha), I payed $50 for vol 2 & $65 for vol 3, plus $30 for shipping on each one haha. They’re the 2 most expensive volumes I’ve payed for. $186 for 2 volumes that should have cost $26.

[@Rorschachqp]

Ah so that was you. It is expensive but price is determined by supply and demand. I bought my volumes as they came out so they were "cheap" for me.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@RorschachqpYea vol 2 & 3 I couldn’t find anywhere, vol 1 & 4 I could get on a number of different sites but I had to go to ebay to get 2 & 4. You have the series? I haven’t read it yet haha.

[@Rorschachqp]

@@InfamyOrDeath-__- It's less of a read series and more of a fan service series. It's a wannabe Darling In The Franxx.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@Rorschachqp Yea I’ve just flicked through each volume just to have a look, I was going to start it soon.

[@JustMePlusCollecting]

What's up with your audio dude?

[@ThePromG]

What are you referring to? There might be a little peaking at times due to the different area if that’s what your asking about

[@JustMePlusCollecting]

​@ThePromG Sounds kinda scratchy, every time you talk you can kinda hear it. I just never heard it before in your videos but it's been a while too

[@Rorschachqp]

@@JustMePlusCollecting Yeah I hear it too. The issue is if you don't listen for it, you don't hear it. But once you hear it, you can't get it out of your head.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

I don’t hear anything.

[@JustMePlusCollecting]

@ThePromG btw wasn't trying to be mean or anything I just noticed it and thought I'd mention it.
