The Son of the Godfather

Finished

ゴッドファーザーの息子

Young Osamu Tezuka's talent for drawing and his entertaining cartoons catch the attention of Akashi, the most feared gang leader at their school. What starts as an unlikely friendship soon leads Tezuka to discover that Akashi is the son of a powerful local yakuza family. As the shadow of war looms over their lives, the two boys bond over their shared love for manga.

This volume collects five short stories and one-shots originally published in Shonen Jump magazines, anchored by the semi-autobiographical tale of Tezuka's childhood encounter with the yakuza heir. Through their friendship, Tezuka learns that even the toughest gangster can have a soft spot for comics.
