The manga is based on Tezuka’s Rainbow Parakeet (Nanairo Inko) manga, and it brings back the thief Rainbow Parakeet into the Heisei Era, or the current period according to the Japanese calendar.
The third issue of Micro Magazine Publishing Company’s Tezucomi Osamu Tezuka tribute magazine confirmed on December 5 that artist Atsuko Ishida is launching the HeiSei Nanairo Inko (HeiSei Rainbow Parakeet) manga in the next issue on Tuesday.
The Tezucomi magazine celebrates the 90th anniversary since the pioneering manga creator Osamu Tezuka’s birth in 1928.
Rainbow Parakeet is a criminal action manga featuring a genius actor whose specialty is mimicry — but he is also a thief.
