ATOM'S BLOOD

Why do I fight? Why do I have such power? Who am I? One day something like “life” fell down from the sky. That thing, given the name ATOM, grew up to have an extraordinary power and kind heart.

However, people’s desire didn’t leave his power alone. ATOM throws himself in to fight the war which no one knows when to end. Left with people hurt and land devastated, what is the decision ATOM made…?

This is a story of “life” by artist Seitaro Kuroda, dedicated to Osamu Tezuka, whose work inspired Seitaro to become an artist.
