Spiraken Manga Review Ep 609: Osamu Tezuka’s Lost World

In this episode, Xan travels back to the dawn of modern manga with Lost World by the legendary Osamu Tezuka.

As the inaugural work in Tezuka's classic sci-fi trilogy, does this proto-manga about a rogue dinosaur planet stand as a visionary classic, or is it a fascinating but dated relic? We unearth its historical importance and see how it holds up today.

In This Episode:

• Analyzing the historic, foundational style of this early sci-fi adventure.

• A look at the "Tezuka Star System" and how it shapes the classic characters.

• Update #3 in the "45 Books for 45 Years" project (Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros).

• The latest manga news and releases.
