“You know what’s annoying? When a series of news articles (haven’t seen it in books yet) has a 上、中、 AND 下. That means if you only come across the LAST installment, you can never tell if it had a chu as well as a jo!”

Pretty sure that was how the Japanese paperback edition of “Windup Bird Chronicle” was published actually.

Tezuka was not racist. End of discussion.

[...] He’s not as squeaky clean as say, Osamu Tezuka, the Japan appointed God of Manga and lifelong pacifist, but hey, Osamu Tezuka has been accused of racism. [...]

Let him draw what he wants too plus the fella’s deceased., and If you don’t like it then don’t read it that’s what I think.

Hey Don, since this guy is one of the great manga authors, a good deal of his stuff has been licensed (including “Adolf”) and can be found on Amazon USA/UK. As for the other stuff, I’d check google for “scanlations” to see what fans have translated. And be sure to let your friend Don know about this stuff as well. Maybe he’ll use some of his millions to finance new editions of the translations.

I am curious to find where the English Translation would be found as I also think it is a great piece of artwork. Any Help would be appreciated.

I would say that he was not racist, but back in the old days even progressive people tended to have more racial stereotypes than we do today, which is just something you need to take with a grain of salt when reading the classics.
