TV Anime Sousaki Hiwa: Tezuka Osamu to Anime o Tsukutta Wakamono-tachi

The non-fiction manga will tell the story of how Osamu Tezuka and a team of "reckless young people" took on the challenge of producing the first weekly television anime. Tezuka himself helmed the production of the 1963 Astro-Boy anime at his Mushi Production studio, and it became Japan's first half-hour animated series. The show pioneered animation techniques and production methods that gave rise to the earliest aesthetics and styles of television anime.
