We currently have a one month trial of a database of Tezuka Osamu’s Manga. Often called the “Godfather or Manga.” Osamu is perhaps most influential creator of manga in Japan. The database reproduces 122 titles in Japanese; 25 in English, and many translated into other languages (French, Korean, Chinese, etc.). The trial ends 25 April 2024. Please have a look, share with anyone you think might be interested.
The database trial operates through the university’s IP addresses and therefore will not work off campus
Here is the link to access the database: Tezuka Osamu Manga

The Tachibanas are the quintessential Japanese family, unassuming and infinitely relatable.
