Ode to Kirihito

A haunting and surreal manga from the legendary Osamu Tezuka, Ode to Kirihito follows a young doctor whose body begins a terrifying, unexplained transformation into a dog-like creature. Originally serialized in the late 1970s and early 1980s, this Kodansha USA edition collects the complete story in a single volume, showcasing Tezuka's mature, psychologically complex storytelling. The series remains a powerful exploration of identity, prejudice, and the monstrous within humanity, cementing its place as a landmark of graphic literature.
