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.

Most of the shoujo manga made by men were created in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Back in those days it wasn't out of the ordinary. The father of manga himself, Osamu Tezuka, created many shoujo manga, including the famous Ribbon no Kishi (Princess Knight).

After the 70's, shoujo manga created by men became a very rare occurrence with the only ones remaining being horror mangaka like Junji Ito, Umezu Kazuo and Morohoshi Daijirou publishing in horror shoujo mangazines.

On the other hand, shounen manga created by women became a common occurrence, kick-started by the influential Rumiko Takahashi beginning with Urusei Yatsura in 1978.

A shoujo manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the
young female demographic (under 18) in Japan.

Josei means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the mature female demographic in Japan.

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".
