Mw

Fifteen years after surviving the chemical decimation of their village, Yuki and Garai become accidental partners in theft, kidnapping, murder, and, most frighteningly, in a forbidden love, in this controversial testament to the art of character--one that redefines both sin and forgiveness--by manga-god Osamu Tezuka.

A secret U.S. chemical weapon called "MW" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism.
MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.
