This complete collection of Osamu Tezuka's Manga Encyclopedia, encompassing 400 volumes, is a significant tribute to the influential figure often referred to as the "God of Manga." Released in a time when Tezuka's works laid the foundation for manga and anime, this compilation reflects the profound impact of his storytelling and artistry.

While the volumes show signs of aging and are non-first editions, they remain a valuable asset, particularly given the rarity of complete sets in the collector market.

Kodansha’s reputation for quality publishing of manga ensures that even with wear, these volumes uphold the integrity of Tezuka's legacy within Japan's rich cultural heritage.
