In Tezuka Osamu's "Sekai o Horobosu Otoko," there's a page that features a cameo of Fukui Eiichi wearing a halo. This work was published several months after Fukui's death

Many might consider the drawing in Tezuka Osamu's early works to be rough, but there's a reason behind it! When photograpic printing was rarely used back then, publishers would produce manga pages by tracing the original work into a printing plate. This technique was called "Kakihan"

In the 1960s, with the growing popularity of manga, there was once a manga-themed coffee shop called Kobotan! Some of Tezuka Osamu's art were once exhibited there.

When Tezuka Osamu was a little child, one of the manga he used to love to read was Shaka Bontaro's "Mikki no Katsuyaku!" You can see how it influenced some of Tezuka's early manga works.

This here is the cover art for Tezuka Osamu's "Manga Daigaku!" As you can see in the second picture, the cover art was changed slightly. The reason was to avoid 'copyright issue.' Hmm... I wonder what they meant by that?

Yamaga Hiroyuki and Akai Takami once showed the opening animation for Daicon III to Tezuka Osamu. He remarked at how there are many character cameos in the film, but some are missing. The two realized they didn't include Tezuka's characters! This was fixed in the opening animation for Daicon IV.

Tezuka Osamu used to ask her wife for her opinion on his manga. This is because when he asked his editors for their opinion, they would give him dishonest answer to make sure he won't redraw any page.

Even though MushiPro was founded by Tezuka Osamu, the company also adapted Chiba Tetsuya's "Kunimatsu Sama no Otoridai" and Fujikawa Keisuke's "Sasurai no Taiyou" into animated TV series!

Let's start with our first tidbit! Despite the fact that Tezuka Osamu's "Shin Takarajima" was very well received by young readers at the time, it was harshly criticized by veteran manga artists like Niizeki Kennosuke and Shimada Keizou.
