The photographed page shows covers from Human Beings Gather! The covers use Tezuka’s recognizable character-based drawing style while presenting the work as an adult-oriented manga.
The visual presentation is deliberately different from the softer, more child-oriented appearance associated with some of Tezuka’s better-known works. The characters and lettering create a bold and slightly absurd appearance that fits the satirical nature of the story.
Osamu Tezuka created Human Beings Gather! as an adult-oriented satire. The manga was serialized in Weekly Manga Sunday from January 25, 1967, to July 24, 1968. Tezuka’s official website explains that he intentionally changed his drawing style for this work in order to create a more absurd atmosphere appropriate to its adult subject matter.
