A review by rosalumina
Barbara by Osamu Tezuka, Ben Applegate, Evan Hayden
5.0
Clearly, a masterpiece of the turbulent times that Japan experienced during the 70's and 80's. Barbara is more than just a manga, it represents the whole society's downfalls and the "lack of morals" the youth had, since they were diverging from the standard attitudes older generations had. A spiraling descent to chaos and the dark corners of Tezuka's mind that will leave you speechless with the sheer genius within him.
