The Three-Eyed One (Original Version) Complete Collection 5

Tezuka Osamu's 90th Anniversary Special Edition: Limited First Edition

The real deal is here! Sorry for the wait!!

Master Tezuka Osamu's wildly popular work, "The Three-Eyed One," is being published for the first time in its entirety, exactly as it was serialized in the magazine, including a large number of previously unpublished pages (over 200 pages total)! Experience the original charm of Sharaku and Wato!

◆Serialized for a long time in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 1974-78, this smash hit, along with "Black Jack" from the same period, signaled Tezuka Sensei's "full comeback" in the late 1970s. This masterpiece of adventure entertainment was later adapted into an animated TV series. ◆ This work, in which Sharaku Hosuke, the prince of the three-eyed tribe, and his beautiful classmate, Wato Sensei, take on various supernatural phenomena and mysteries, was extensively revised by Tezuka Sensei himself when it was published in book form. Furthermore, the bibliography became complicated due to the rearrangement of the publication order, resulting in some short stories not being included. The original version has long been shrouded in mystery since its magazine debut. And now—for the first time—the entire series is presented in large B5 format, featuring all color pages and frontispieces. The episode order and pagination are faithfully reproduced to their original appearance. Additionally, over 200 pages of previously unpublished, rare, "mysterious" pages, never before published in a tankobon edition, are included for the first time across all eight volumes! The entirety of the 3,200-page original magazine edition is available nowhere else!

◆In order to maintain image quality, this edition does not primarily focus on reprinting from the magazine. Instead, it uses the original manuscript as a base, meticulously collaging surviving unpublished manuscripts and uncut and pasted pieces. Only missing sections are restored from the print edition, a new method preserving Tezuka's graceful pen strokes. Additionally, the frontispieces of each serialized episode are included within the main story in full B5 size, and the end of the volume includes a gallery and illustrations of the magazine serialization's frontispieces and various frontispieces. Made with high-quality, fade-resistant paper. This is the original form of "The Three-Eyed One," a dream come true for fans. Using a new method, this miraculous project will uncover the "unprecedented charm of The Three-Eyed One"! Don't miss out on this first edition, a limited edition!
