Dororo

(W/A/CA) Osamu Tezuka. Dororo's unique story, set in a swashbuckling environment, made it a shoe-in for live action film adaptation, and its potential for providing such story content in the U.S. is only natural. This action-filled tale of vengeance revolves as much around an Oedipal urge to punish the abandoning father as it does around the characters' confrontations with ghosts and monsters. An edge-of-your-seat manga of redemption.
