    Built in the image of a scientist's lost son, Atom is a small robot with extraordinary strength and a stubborn sense of compassion. His adventures take him through a future shared by humans and machines, where technical progress has done little to eliminate fear, exploitation or prejudice. Osamu Tezuka moves between playful inventions and difficult moral questions as his young hero tries to protect both communities. Robot battles and journeys into space become stories about responsibility, belonging and the possibility of treating unfamiliar lives with kindness.

    Alien parasites fall from the sky, take over human bodies and feed on people while wearing ordinary faces. The one meant for Shinichi Izumi misses his brain and takes his right hand instead. Now the two of them share a body, and neither can afford to lose. A horror classic. Their partnership is practical before it is comfortable: one body makes survival a shared concern. Encounters with other parasites force Shinichi to reconsider instinct, empathy and the distinction between humans and predators, while his altered hand keeps that uncertainty unavoidably close.
