Commerce daughter of the primitive ethnic · Inugawa tribe discovered in Antarctica brought to Japan for the purpose of academic research. In any case, because it is not accustomed to the civilization society, it causes various troubles, but the temperament is gentle and strong. Besides it is beautiful. We will overcome various difficulties with unique wisdom that makes good use of things around us and sturdiness like wild children. Currently it is a cartoon that everyone is enjoying, but in the 50's where this "gourd candy" was drawn, it seems that cartoons targeting young people like these college students were unusual. As it is in the postscript, Tezuka Osamu seems to have trial and error, and works are also found in various places in the work. First of all, a unique framework with a black border like a movie screen. It is not only merely thickened the edge of the frame, it is anomalous for every frame, and it has a magical effect on the screen. Also, gags based on current affairs story that sometimes come out are tastes that could not be seen in boys' comics etc. The story is a nonsense butterfly drama played hard here and there, followed by a love story with Sampei, an aspiring actor, a conspiracy of Snakezuka playing Ham Egg, and former lover / gorillo who followed Komago from Antarctica, but finally The casually criticized message is put in place is still Tezuka cartoon. by tezukaosamu.net
