Tezuka Manga Donated to Quake Victims

Takarazuka City, where Tezuka spent his youth, donated Tezuka's manga to children in Iwate and Fukushima.


On the 10th of May, Tezuka Productions (Tokyo), which manages the copyrights for mangaka Tezuka Osamu's works, donated 870 volumes from 30 manga by Tezuka, including "Phoenix" and "Black Jack", to Takarazuka City in Hyogo Prefecture to be distributed to the victims of the Tohoku Earthquake.

Takarazuka City was where Tezuka spent his youth, and there is even a memorial hall in Tezuka's name within the city. 920 volumes were sent out in late April, and from them 870 volumes that were more suitable for children were selected. These 870 volumes were divided into half and each half went to Oofunato City in Iwate and Sukagwa City in Fukushima.

Takarazuka City wishes for these manga to be put in the libraries of the recipient city's elementary schools. The person-in-charge said, "We experienced the Great Hanshin Earthquake ourselves, so we can imagine the uneasiness the children must be going through. We want them to be able to enjoy themselves through reading Tezuka's manga."

Hey, speaking of hunter x hunter, have you noticed that a character of every manga on the list is present (if I'm not mistaken) on that shonen jump cover from the image above, save for HxH?
