Let's take a look at one of the most recent retro releases from this year - a new selection from the vast library of Osamu Tezuka.
BOMBA! (Bonba!), by Osamu Tezuka. First published in 1970 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Tetsu's young life is one that's full of misery thanks to his resentful, abusive parents, bullying teachers, and his own sense of self-loathing. The only thing that gets him through the day is thoughts of his teacher, Miss Mizushima. The deeper his obsession with her grows, the more often he begins to hear phantom horse hooves and see visions of a spectral horse. Soon Tetsu discovers that he can control this phantom horse, and bids it to kill anyone who gets in the way between him and the woman of his dreams.
