Apollo's Song

A single-volume English-language edition of Osamu Tezuka's classic 1970s manga, published by Vertical in 2007. The story follows a young man incapable of feeling love, whose life is transformed by a mysterious encounter that sends him through a cycle of reincarnations across different eras and settings. Translator Camellia Nieh brings Tezuka's sprawling, philosophical meditation on love, fate, and human connection to a new audience. This edition matters as it presents a key, emotionally complex work from the "God of Manga" that showcases his narrative ambition beyond his more famous children's titles.
