An excerpt from Phoenix, volume 6: Nostalgia
From Phoenix, Volume 7: Civil War (part one):
From Tezuka in English . com:
“…Among the 12 volumes (of Phoenix) are some of Tezuka’s most inspired, most experimental and most intimate stories. Each story is complete in itself, all taking place at different time periods. The settings alternate, beginning in the ancient past, with vol. 2 taking place in the distant future, vol. 3 in the less ancient past, vol. 4 in the less distant future, drawing ever closer to the present….”

Scanlations are great for manga that’s not yet available in English but for a work like Phoenix please try to find the books, it makes for a better reading experience and it assures the future of quality print translations. The Phoenix books were translated and published by Viz. Visit their site by clicking here. It’s O.K. to spend your money on comics, they’re worth it!
