Ive heard of Astro Boy for ever however I've never learned who actually wrote it, and how much of an influence they've had on manga. Osamu Tesuka's stories are awesome having read Astro Boy a couple of time over the past decade or so, and now learning about his old works his depth of work is awe inspiring. Reading the first volume of Phoenix I couldn't put it down. Phoenix touches on many adult subject matter in a digestible way that lets the reader think on the subject of the reading without having a clear cut meaning pushed onto them. I will definitely be reading more Tesuka.
I haven't read much Gekiga except for maybe Lupin III. I really like this style it's open and raw however melodramatic and fun. Cigarette girl is one of my favorite things I've ever read its funny but relatable and doesn't have as of putting charters as something like Golgo 13 though I do enjoy that type of story quite a bit. Cigarette Girl brought something to manga that I haven't personally experienced before and will be looking forward to explore more with further reading.
