From the godfather of manga, Osamu Tezuka, comes the touching sequel to his legendary fairy tale, Princess Knight. Disney imagery oozes from every page as twin heirs to the throne go through a fantastic swash-buckling adventure to reunite their kingdom. Perfect for readers of all ages and a must for the Osamu Tezuka fan!

A gem from the fifties when the legendary master was most deeply involved in girls' comics, Twin Knights is more than just a sequel to the shojo manga milestone Princess Knight. More close addressing issue of station as well as gender, this one-volume tale has all the antic innocence of the early Tezuka even as it revises the more famous works' premise, doing away with the conceit of "boy and girl hearts" and invoking the vagaries of chance and power in their place.

About the author

Osamu Tezuka

Osamu Tezuka was a Japanese cartoonist, animator, film producer, and activist. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of the comics series Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Black Jack. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga," "the god of manga," and "kamisama of manga." Additionally, he is often credited as the "godfather of anime" and is considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years.

Praise for Princess KnightNew Omnibus Edition

"Beneath the adventurous, fast-paced, often comical façade, Tezuka adds more than a few heavy-duty layers: gender politics, equality and equity, class issues, questions of identity, definitions of morality, and more. Tezuka pushes one button after another ... just to see what might happen. The result is a delightful, thoughtful challenge - visually, intellectually ... and even spiritually." - The Smithsonian Institute's Book Dragon
