MW

Tezuka's darkest dive into psychological horror.

If you crave a narrative that pushes boundaries, "MW" will challenge you with its unflinching depiction of amorality. Tezuka, known for his lighter works, here tackles profound darkness with the same captivating storytelling. This isn't just another graphic novel; it's a piece of history that preempts issues we're still unpacking today. You'll find it's more than just a thrilling ride; it's also a deep reflection on humanity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Michio Yuki has it looks, intelligence, a pedigree as the scion of a famous Kabuki family, a promising career at a major bank, legions of female admirers. But underneath the sheen of perfection lurks a secret with the power to shake the world to its foundations. During a boyhood excursion to one of the southern archipelagos near Okinawa, Yuki barely survived exposure to a poison gas stored at a foreign military facility.
