Wow I cant believe this forums full of Tezuka fans. That makes me happy that there are fans even here in US.
My names Cara and I discovered Tezuka manga earlier this year when my local library got itself the entire Buddha series(save for volume three which I sadly had to skip) and I was blown away. Since then I've gotten into Black Jack(bought volume one when it came out) and have tried to find more of his stuff(havnt been too lucky yet but I wont quit). I decided that since I need a good hobby in life my goal will be to at least read all of Tezukas most popular and most critically aclaimed series(if not all of them) in my life. Same with the anime. So hopefully this place will help and I'll get to meet more of you who share my goal.
