A chronological selection of the most important works of Osamu Tezuka, a timeless influential figure on the medium and one of the greatest artists of all time.

These entries are listed keeping in mind its historical relevance, their context in Tezuka's life, and their overall influence on the mangascape. I believe the following titles would help you understand more about his style, life, and contribution to Japanese media. It is not comprehensive and should be treated as a jumping point for such a colorful career.

Most of these titles are available in English.

Hi all, another manga challenge! This time the alphabet using the MAL categories. These are 25 (Sadly no X, again) short, complete manga falling under one of MAL's themes, genres, or demographics, and when we needed more letters, other websites such as AniList and BakaUpdates.

Hope you have fun reading!

Usual Disclaimer: We have read none of these works before, and while we haven't picked any manga purposefully with disturbing content, we can't guarantee anything, so read at your own risk.

A list of Tezuka's manga published in Brazil, in order of release date.
Only manga written and drawn by Tezuka.



Lista dos mangás do Tezuka publicados no Brasil, em ordem de lançamento.
Somente mangás escritos e desenhados pelo Tezuka.

I've put together a list of manga written by Tezuka Osamu, that was officially licensed and released in physical or digital format in the English language (mostly from North American releases). Tezuka's works in English are a mix of titles still being printed and circulated, and out of print. There are a varity of editions from comic book 'floppies', softback, hardbacks, and even boxed collections! This is a fan guide to figure out if the copies you are reading or buying are from legitimate sources.

This list is NOT complete, I'm merely one person and have probably missed a title or two.

Notes about Publisher's: Vertical Inc. was acquired by Kodansha USA in 2011, and fully absorbed in 2020. Any titles that were licensed to Vertical Inc. are currently distributed digitally via Kodansha USA with infrequent reprintings.

Digital Manga Publishing (DMP), and Digital Manga Guild Publishing/Publication (DMGP) are two branches of the same company as far as I am aware. DMP tends to be physical copies, DMGP is digital copies. Physical copies are sold via their website eManga, and Amazon. Digital copies can be found on eManga, via the following statement:

"eManga is Digital Manga, Inc.'s own one stop online shop for manga, originally established back in 2008. Providing manga both digitally (in a variety of downloadable formats) and physically, in 2018, eManga merged with DMI's print store - Akadot - to house everything in one place".
