The original uploader will not properly archive these on this platform as its a 'porn site' and thus doesn't really care to have these works have an ongoing life on the web considering as Internet Archive accounts can be 1) deleted and 2) removed due to copyright concerns / DMCAs. These are valuable works that should be seen by everyone. You can support the uploader via the link provided and download the files for free otherwise, but they do belong here all the same. Archivists who are not willing to actively share files beyond a small scope really aren't doing their part. I don't have these reservations around art history, however.

★Context:

This work was done as a memorial book to Osamu Tezuka upon his passing from stomach cancer and was released at Comiket 35 (Harumi Fairgrounds). Many of the authors were already publishing works, however, many also went on to be well to do mangaka and animators by the early 1990s. This shift in style and appreciation of Tezuka at this point in time is important due to his impact upon passing away.

★From the editor:

"It is currently 5:30 AM on the day of Comiket. I am very worried about whether I will make it in time for the opening. This book is a tribute to Osamu Tezuka, who passed away suddenly (or so it seemed) on the 9th of last month. Tezuka's death was a shock to me, even though, like you who have picked up this book, I did not consider myself a particularly big fan. It is embarrassing to admit, but I did not even know he was ill until he passed away, and I first learned of it from a newspaper headline at a station kiosk on my way home from work. Even I had a lot I wanted to say, so I reached out to my friends, and this is the result. I would like to express my gratitude once again to the writers who contributed their works despite the time constraints and the sudden request for manuscripts. In the spring, we plan to publish a revised edition that will include contributions from those who unfortunately could not make it in time for this publication due to the suddenness of the event. Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest condolences for the passing of the beloved Osamu Tezuka and offer my heartfelt prayers for his soul. This concludes my closing remarks. March 25, 1989. All of us at Kinman Shoji First published on the 35th of the first year. My apologies.
