Ode to Kirihito
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ode to Kirihito (Kirihito Sanka) is a graphic novel by Osamu Tezuka. It was originally serialized in Biggu Komikku (Big Comic) in Japan in 1970-71 and was published in English translation in 2006.
This series is about a heroic young doctor (Kirihito Osanai) and his efforts to cure a strange disease that deforms its victims so that they look like dog-people. He becomes infected with the disease himself and is led on a wild odyssey around the world as he is kidnapped and maltreated by the ignorant and the curious, meeting strange allies and stranger foes. Many of the characters are portrayed as neither outright good nor bad.
