Dororo by Osamu Tezuka
In a time of constant warfare, a samurai lord barters away his newborn son's organs in exchange for victory on the battlefield. Yet the abandoned infant survives, saved by a skilled medicine man who trains him into a formidable warrior. Equipped with lethal prosthesis, Hyakkimaru will have to hunt down the multitude of demons to reclaim his body, one piece at a time.

Joined by mouthy orphan sidekick Dororo, Hyakkimaru's adventures bring him face to face with the greater world: both its miracles and its monsters. Part yokai tale, part travel story, Osamu Tezuka's classic adventure Dororo offers a thoughtful allergory for becoming what one is -- for nobody, is born whole.
