Glass no Shiro no Kiroku

A family has been in cryosleep for two decades at the command of their patriarch. When the eldest son, Ichirou, awakens, he grapples with the loss of two decades of his life and seeks vengeance against those he believes are responsible. His younger brother, Shirou, tries to prevent him, uncovering a harmful consequence of cryosleep that contributed to its nationwide prohibition. The story explores the consequences of Ichirou's actions and whether Shirou can intervene. Osamu Tezuka presents a bleak examination of immortality and its impact on humanity, marked by themes of hatred, greed, and desire. The narrative offers no clear resolutions, making it suitable for those interested in Tezuka's more somber works.
