Kirihito #1

This first volume of Osamu Tezuka's medical drama follows a young doctor named Kirihito Osanai, who is sent to a remote village to investigate a mysterious disease that transforms humans into dog-like creatures, only to become infected himself. The story explores themes of prejudice, identity, and the ethics of medical experimentation as Kirihito struggles to find a cure while being hunted by those who see him as a monster. This German edition collects the opening chapters of Tezuka's acclaimed 1970s manga series, presented in its original right-to-left reading format.
