The manga version of the second Animerama film "Cleopatra" by Osamu Tezuka, the god of manga, and Hisashi Sakaguchi, the genius scriptwriter.

Since its publication in October 1970 as a "COM extra issue" (published by Mushi Pro), it has been difficult to obtain a copy for a long time.

Animerama is the name given to anime films produced by Osamu Tezuka and Mushi Pro. The term was coined by Tezuka to mean "Animation & Drama," "Animation & Cinerama," and "Animation & Panorama," and the following three films are often referred to as the "Animerama Trilogy.

• One Thousand and One Nights
• Cleopatra
• Belladonna of Sadness

All were billed as "anime for adults" at the time of their release.

In addition, at the time of publication, the front of this volume contains a blurb by Osamu Tezuka, which reads as follows:

By taking out gags that could only be shown in the film, and detailing the context behind the characters and the period,
I tried to have it be a work anyone can enjoy - those who have and haven't seen the film.

Don't miss this rare opportunity!
