Apollo's Song is an interesting manga by the God of Manga himself, Osamu Tezuka. It starts out by introducing Shogo, a kid that hates love so much that kill animals that show any signs of affection. Because of this habit, Shogo is sent to a mental hospital where he goes through electroshock therapy (it was written in 1970 after all). During one of his sessions, Shogo has a vision of him talking with a Greek goddess who then curses him for committing crimes against love. Shogo is sentenced to love a woman again and again but one of then will always tragically die. And that'sexactly what happens for the rest of the book. The comic is like a short story anthology filled with tragic love stories. All these sections are tied together by the theme of romantic love and how it can depressing it can be. The story is great for a comic but pretty mediocre for Tezuka. As good as it is, I'd recommend you read Phoenix or some other Tezuka manga before you Apollo's Song.
