false <![CDATA[MW]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175607722m/534307.jpg 534307 1 A secret U.S. chemical weapon called "MW" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism. <br><br>MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius. 521815 30 10 2007 MW total:130|5:38|4:43|3:41|2:6|1:2| 130 499 174 37 4 4 false false Mon Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 19:41:11 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 08:02:43 -0800 2008

Forget the cutesy of Atom or the wisdom of Buddha. Read MW and find Tezuka's bordering-too-much gore, homoeroticism, homicide-for-fun, and mental rape.
