Bomba!

Tetsu seems to be an ordinary student, but his intense devotion to his teacher takes a shocking and violent turn when a rival admirer tries to come between them. Shaped by the troubled history of his family, he must learn to manage his longing and hold back his fury if he wants to find calm and comfort in his connections with others. The artwork and inventive panel arrangements build to an intense peak as they show the young man's explosive anguish taking physical form.

The story also examines how friendships can be complicated and how war leaves psychological scars that outlast the fighting. Its narrative moves through affection, envy, vengeance, and eventual renewal.

The author, Osamu Tezuka, is also known as the creator of Astro Boy.
