Before Astro Boy, there was the spark that started it all. Before Astro Boy, there was Atom: The Beginning—a thrilling prequel that reimagines how one of manga’s most iconic heroes came to be. In the wake of a great disaster, two brilliant scientists, Tenma and Ochanomizu, pour their hopes into creating a new kind of robot—one capable of independent thought and compassion. Their prototype, A106, just might change the world. Mixing classic Tezuka charm with modern sci-fi storytelling, Atom: The Beginning explores ambition, morality, and what it truly means to be alive.
