Set in both Japan and Germany during World War II, the story opens in 1936, as a Japanese reporter named Sohei Toge travels to Germany to cover the Berlin Olympic Games and to visit his younger brother. I will definitely be reading the second part of Message to Adolf, but I must first sign off with a one word summation of the piece at half time: eccentric. Their lives and fates are now inevitably interwoven around the biggest secret of the third Adolf - Adolf Hitler. Message to Adolf (1983-85) is one of Tezuka’s most serious and realistic manga dramas, and incorporates scenes of torture, rape and genocide. While reading a 650-page manga isn’t the same as reading a 650-page prose novel, not least in terms of time commitment, I have abandoned shorter books for being unreadable and I kept going with Message to Adolf Part 1.

Přibližuje politickou atmosféru v Japonsku a v Německu a hlavně sleduje příběhy několika lidí, jejichž osudy se vzájemně protnuly. Every Nazi, but our one Japanese-German boy and a Nazi fraulein driven to "badness" by her Gestapo father, is a hamfisted caricature of evil. During one of these pursuits, he makes friends with a Japanese police chief, who accompanies him on a chase to an island where Ogi is keeping the documents. Poslední měsíce jsem měl komiksové – jen namátkou: Essex County, Padoucnice, Kosmo knedlíci… Zpráva pro Adolfa toto období završila jako pověstná třešnička na dortu.The only location we see beyond Germany and Japan is Lithuania, and that only for the briefest of moments. Their lives and fates are now inevitably interwoven around the biggest secret of the third Adolf -- Adolf Hitler. Japón siente los rigores de la guerra en su propio territorio, las ciudades japonesas están siendo bombardeadas, incluyendo Tokio. When they weren’t loathsome, they were stupid, and I mean REALLY stupid, like how-the-hell-did-they-dress-themselves-this-morning stupid. They attend different schools but become friends -- but there's a problem: Kaufmann's father is a loyal Nazi, and Kamil is .

La edición de lujo en cofre y tapa dura, exenta de extras, adolece de los problemas propios de su pequeño tamaño. Tezuka's most profound successes in Message to Adolf are his vivid, fully realized characters that populate WWII era Japan and Germany. I do not know if that was the Japanese version of Hitler that existed in the public mind back in the 80's.

However, as another sign his renewed confidence as a storyteller, and unlike most of his “Dark Period” works – they’re there. I ask the reader to keep this in mind with any of his works, and I am glad they were reproduced accurately. Still, Elise escapes -- and Kaufmann turns to his friend Kamil back home to look after her, a decision that, of course, comes back to haunt him. Meanwhile, Adolf Kaufmann is sent off to Germany, to boarding school at an elite Adolf Hitler School.

Their lives and fates are now inevitably interwoven around the biggest secret of the third Adolf—Adolf Hitler.

He is often credited as the "Father of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. Completely re-translated, it is arguably much closer to the original Japanese version, incorporating many of the subtle nuances the earlier translation may have glossed over.
