She is full of whimsy and Christmas spirit. 🎄

I haven't read Phoenix but I can only imagine this is how my arc would go

Tezuka productions has its favorites

[craniozito]

My Osamu Tezuka manga collection + PLUTO, Astro Boy 2003 and Princess Knight - The Night of the Princess.

I am reading them at my pace.

I think you can tell which ones are the french and the brazillian editions.

The Brazilian editions are not with me yet besides the Kimba ones.

For curiosity, Kimba was my first Tezuka manga ever.

I want to read/collect all Tezuka's works, impossible? probably.

I will post new photos when I can buy more mangas.

In the thirteenth episode of the English dub of Princess Knight (リボンの騎士), Sapphire faces off against Satan who has turned fair maidens of the land into swans in his hell kingdom.

It's so interesting to see the way this series plays with Christian tropes like the Devil and angels. That tends to be frowned upon in the US because it makes Christian beliefs seem equally mythological as any other culture's legends, but obviously Japan did not have a problem with it at the time.

I caught a lot of small references in this episode from the weird version of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix to the musical allusions to Swan Lake. It also answered the question of whether Prince Frank will be in every episode now, and the answer is no.

Reading Phoenix by Osamu Tezuka, when I came across these panels here. Guessing Tezuka was a fan of Fujio Akatsuka lol.
