Can you post some cover scans?

David

Sure! I put up some cover scans as well as the synopsis from the dust jackets, but scanning the interiors won't be good for them. I will happily do some photos of the insides though if anyone is interested enough!

The four parter is called "Shyumari" and the one with the toothpaste is "The Crater" No idea what Shyumari means, or what the other title is called. If there are any Japanese readers I'd really appreciate some translations.

Actually, i suppose it's paint, not toothpaste. Maybe eczema cream.

Thanks
Ben

The Crater is out in French (but sold out). I could translate the french one (since I have them), but that's such a pain of work I really don't want to do, sry. The stories are really strange for Tezuka - very surrealistic.




The other one I don't know myself o.o

amazing cover on that second one.

I found a great list of synopsis of each "crater" story on the official Tezuka website which was cool so I was able to match each story to the plot

Great to finally know what the comic is!!!!

Shumari is licensed for France by Tonkam this year, think it has to do with Hokkaido. I can at least read that in the description

The unnamed one (spring) is called Tetsu no Senritsu (Melody of Iron). I can't read that much Japanese, but the first sentence of the description is what you knew already ^_~ (I'll let the rest to be translated by someone who actually knows Japanese ^_~)

"I want a articifial arm!! The young man of the stage whose arms were cut off by the New York Mafia cried that in the middle of Bestd [don't know what that is. Place?]"
