Named after Osamu Tezuka, the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize (手塚治虫文化賞, Tezuka Osamu Bunkashō) is a yearly manga prize awarded to manga artists or their works that follow the Osamu Tezuka manga approach founded and sponsored by Asahi Shimbun. The prize has been awarded since 1997, in Tokyo, Japan.

From 1997 to 2002, the series that received the second-most votes was awarded the Award for Excellence, the winners of which are also included in this stack.

For the otaku interested in manga with stories happening in the times of the Romans (10) and Greek (7), and Gauls (1).

From Renaissance artists and lovers to Italian restaurants and modern Italian slice of life to ancient Rome - these manga are all set in Italy!

Please let me know if I have missed any hidden gems.

Works based on Shakespeare's Italian set plays are in a different list.

While it might look like you don't really need to know all of this, you never know when it will be useful: for instance with quizzes, random questions that you wouldn't know the answer to otherwise, fun facts to tell someone else, or if there's trouble or necessity of intervention in your vicinity.

Honorable mentions:
-Apocalypse no Toride is a horror manga that could be included due to a couple of educational parts, such as acute hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and its effects induced by intravenous insulin injections; however a lot of it is not really fitting to be put in here.
-Genius Martial Arts Trainer (MAL ID 170657): Fitness

Ashita no Teki to Kyou no Akushu wo is another one that isn't even on MAL yet
