Should You Read: Bomba! by Osamu Tezuka
Others have mentioned it, but this is an obscure pull from Tezuka's collection for Viz to publish, seemingly at random, 52 years after its original release. I believe this is from Tezuka's gekiga phase. Like many gekiga, it is a story about an angry, misunderstood, and secretly special young man who punishes the world that hurt him. This angry young man's special power is that his anger manifests as a psychic horse that gallops down his enemies. It's such an on-the-nose portrayal of toxic masculinity and misogyny that it's hard to imagine someone taking the time to write and draw this and still missing the point so hard at the end. Tezuka isn't famous for being a master of self-reflection, though. Tezuka is famous for being the father of manga, and honestly, even his worst is still captivating. I love the old art style and blunt storytelling. I love the sheer creativity Tezuka brought to his projects. I can't say this is a must-read for manga fans or even
