Two years ago, a Japanese woman was poking around in the desk of her deceased father, and came across a sizeable stack of erotic anthropomorphized animal manga sketches.
Now, after sifting through the roughly 200 pieces of artwork that were found, Tezuka’s erotic sketches have been published for the first time.
That’s because the woman in question is Rumiko Tezuka, eldest daughter of pioneering Japanese comic artist Osamu Tezuka, known as the God of Manga.
29 illustrations appear in the current issue of Japanese literary magazine Shincho, along with an accompanying article titled “Osamu Tezuka’s Erotica.”
