A thriller about feelings of hatred inside all of us and a boy who has the power to summon a phantom killer horse. From the 2020 Harvey Award Hall of Famer & God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka.

A misguided love, trampled by dreams...

Tetsu is a seemingly normal student whose passionate love for his teacher turns violent in the most unexpected of ways when another suitor attempts to stand between them. Haunted by his family's past, Tetsu must learn to navigate his desire and quell his rage if he hopes to find peace and solace in his relationships with others.

Osamu Tezuka's masterful artwork and irrepressibly creative page layouts reach a feverish peak in depicting the manifestation of the tortured youth's explosive angst.

Thematically rich yet instinctively relatable, Bomba! deftly weaves an exploration of the complex nature of friendship and the lasting psychological ravages of war into its tale of love, jealousy, revenge, and redemption.

About the Author

Known as the "Godfather of Manga" (and sometimes simply the "God of Manga"), Osamu Tezuka is one of the most beloved and prolific comic book artists of all time. In a career spanning over forty years, he redefined the medium, spawning international hits like Astro Boy and Dororo, as well as award-winning adult masterworks including Buddha, Black Jack, and Message to Adolf. Bomba! represents a previously untranslated gem from Tezuka's vast and varied catalog. In 2020, he was posthumously inducted into the Harvey Award Hall of Fame.
