バンパイヤ [Vampire]

Osamu Tezuka’s Vampire (1988–present) is a short, four-issue series from Akita Shoten that reimagines the horror genre through the master storyteller’s signature blend of pathos and adventure. Originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion, this work follows a young vampire navigating a world of science and superstition, showcasing Tezuka’s late-career fascination with moral ambiguity and the nature of humanity. Though brief, the series stands as a poignant, lesser-known entry in Tezuka’s vast bibliography, offering a compact yet resonant take on the vampire mythos.
