Ayako Kurt Hathaway Gareth LubyBy Osamu Tezuka. Published by Vertical. Softcover, 704 pages, B&W, 1972 1973 (2013 printing) Long considered as one of Osamu Tezuka's most political narratives, Ayako is also considered to be one of his most challenging as it defies the conventions of his manga by utilizing a completely original cast and relying solely on historical drama to drive the plot. Ayako, pulls no punches, and does not allow for gimmicks as science fiction or fantasy may.
