ISBN: 9781932234831.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 Tezukas controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism.\n\nMW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezukas 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 masters own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vertical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113231507509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1932234837","price":315.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781932234831_dd7af83a-fe82-4c03-a726-10c98bef8ee6.jpg?v=1781325851","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mw-9781932234831","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
