A sprawling and ambitious work by Osamu Tezuka, this manga is filled with many of his iconic characters from the Star System. Notarin, Mitchy, Lamp, Hanamaru, as well as Kenichi, Ban, and Rock all make appearances. Regrettably, it remains one of Tezuka's lesser-known creations. The narrative shifts frequently between different characters' perspectives, with chapters typically lasting less than ten pages. This can lead to confusion, particularly for readers unfamiliar with the characters, as the manga was cut to less than a third of its originally intended length. Despite this, the story conveys a grand scale that surpasses other Tezuka works I've read, making Nextworld feel unique and special.

The plot revolves around soft science fiction, a genre in which Tezuka excelled. It centers on a psychically and telepathically gifted species native to Earth that suddenly appears, along with their plans for the planet and humanity. The story also explores humanity's flaws, such as our inclination towards meaningless conflict and violence. There's a clear parallel to the Cold War in the tension between the American-like nation of Star and the Russian-like nation of Uran.

In conclusion, I recommend reading this manga only if you're already familiar with some of Tezuka's other works and his Star System. Otherwise, it might be too difficult to follow and fully appreciate.

From the man who brought us Astro Boy, Buddha, and many other celebrated works, Tezuka Osamu introduces us to Kitarubeki Sekai, more commonly known as NextWorld. NextWorld is a narrative centered around the looming crisis of Earth's impending end. Confronted by an unidentified substance, our protagonists—Kenichi, Rock, Dr. Mustache, and numerous other characters—strive to save the world while preparing for the worst, navigating trials of war, greed, fear, and various other hurdles in this 1951 tale crafted by Tezuka.

The narrative unfolds through a series of non-linear events, with the world on the brink of destruction and under invasion by aliens. Human nature reveals its darker side, as fear and greed drive nations into conflict with one another. Meanwhile, our ensemble cast finds themselves in diverse predicaments, each striving to endure this epidemic. Tezuka employs a non-linear approach to storytelling. Occasionally, the convergence of unconnected events is masterfully executed, yet at other times, the story's fluidity falters. The transitions between certain events are poorly handled, but this does not detract from the overall style of the narrative.

The whimsical art style Tezuka utilizes adds to the light humor of this Sci-fi tale. The chaotic scenes he portrays bring out the best in his characters and their settings. However, the cartoonish style occasionally overwhelms the panels, cramming too much action into limited space. Despite these instances, there are numerous moments where the artwork shines, effectively depicting the fantastical world Tezuka has constructed for this story.

NextWorld is undoubtedly one of Tezuka's more vibrant creations. Filled with excessive dialogue and spontaneous occurrences, it is a manga brimming with cartoonish and non-linear creativity, presenting a fun and adventurous story eager to be explored.

Nextworld is a manga crafted by the renowned Tezuka Osamu in 1951. As mentioned in the afternotes, Tezuka excised over 400 pages for its release, originally spanning 1000 pages. The artwork draws inspiration from old Western cartoons, as is typical.

Note: Tezuka did not set out to create an "imitation" or "rip-off" of the HG Wells film 'Things to Come', which he found unengaging. Nonetheless, Dark Horse Comics published this manga alongside several of his other works.

Story: The story's concept is fairly intriguing, as evident from the synopsis above, but it is marred by aimless writing. I can't fathom reading the unabridged version; Tezuka dedicates too many panels to trivial content. Given the text density on each page, it should have been about one volume long, but as stated, it is weighed down by excessive redundant material. Sometimes it's even challenging to follow, likely due to the omitted pages, which makes sense. Overall, the narrative is rather rough... much like this inadequate review.

Art: Clearly inspired by Disney, I'm not particularly fond of it. The panels are excessively small, potentially restricting Tezuka's artistic prowess. There are a few two-page illustrations where Tezuka skillfully incorporates numerous characters. There's also a collection of recurring character designs that slightly irked me.... Nevertheless, it's reasonably decent overall.

Character: Racial stereotypes at their peak! They're not only outdated and crude but also somewhat amusing! There are also a few recurring characters like Rock, Mustachio, and Kenichi! The characters are often comedic, even during serious moments. There's not much to say about characters lacking depth, though.

Enjoyment: Great ideas, but poorly executed. I hope to see these concepts utilized more effectively in his later works, which I intend to explore soon.

Read this if you're seeking a raw and unpolished piece of history.

Suggestions: Any other Tezuka work, Captain Harlock, and Queen Millennia.
