...always, Tezuka provides a master class in graphical storytelling. Mercifully printed in left to right format, Ode to Kirihito has many stunning sequences, including one where Dr. Urabe begins going mad. His body disappears and a wedge cleaves his head in two in a psychedelic sequence that wouldn't be out of place in a drug film of the same era. (Kirihito was originally serialized in 1970.) The design of Tezuka's pages endlessly varies in shape and flow to reflect the action of a sequence or a character's state of mind. He never shies away from crazy experimentation...

Disarming Kim Jong Il would require China to starve and break his regime. Why doesn't Beijing act? Because China has a prime interest in maintaining a friendly communist ally as a buffer between itself and U.S. forces in South Korea; as a roadblock to a dynamic, capitalist, reunited Korea; and as a distraction keeping America tied down in the northern Pacific, while China maneuvers to regain Taiwan and extend its influence...
...protests? Chen makes all the major decisions on his own without any discussion with others. Also, he wavers in his stances. People can forgive him these things because of his lack of experience and his lack of vision, but when [the financial scandals] came out, I was really, really mad. I had to do something...
