Age of Tears

The civil war continues ruthlessly as the two sides fight each other and themselves. Lives are wasted and madness reigns as both sides seek the Phoenix and its immortality-granting blood. Its failure to do anything for anybody does not stop the search. Friends become foes again and again and again as all are consumed by the age.
And the Phoenix watches as the doomed play and replay their parts endlessly.

One more grandiose and touching tale by Ozamu Tezuka. One more that ends sadly for everybody.

And the Phoenix watches it all.

Phoenix vol 8 review

Not one of Tezuka's best works. This is a two volume piece, that for me just got drawn out. I have read all of the phoenix volumes (published) these two civil war volumes so far have been the most uneventful. Right now i am reading ode to Kirihito, a longer medical thriller by Tezuka, quite interesting, a different beat for Tezuka. All in all the pheonix saga is great, buddha series is great, does this guy create anything that is not great? Dont forget Tezuka was putting this stuff out 30 and 40 years ago. From a distant planet I think so.

Considered by many the peak of Osamu Tezuka's artistic achievement and called his "life work" by the author, PHOENIX is made up 12 complex stories linked by the presence of the mythical bird, an immortal guarden of the universal life force. Read in order, the separate stories jump across time, alternating between a distant future and a distant past, converging on the present, with characters from one story being reincarnated in another. The 12 stories over 3000 pages.
