## Description

A man from the slums faces his doppelganger from the other side of the tracks; three guests visiting a hot spring are reminded of their past sins by a magical ringing bell only they can hear; stranded on the moon, an astronaut is stuck within a crater, sustained for a century by a mysterious life-giving gaseous fume the moon crater expels. The Crater is a collection of self-contained short stories, ranging from horror, mystery, to science fiction. World renowned author Osamu Tezuka introduces you to an ominous world of sin and regret―you don’t want to miss this one!

Review: One of Tezuka’s hidden treasures - Okay, Tezuka has done many short stories and short story collections, but The Crater really tops it for me. These stories all have a subtle uniqueness, and while not necessarily horror, Tezuka amazingly displays a capability in making the reader uneasy (intentionally and in the best way). Although one of his first forays into gekiga, it might possibly be one of his best.
Review: I really enjoyed reading this manga - It is a collection of short brilliant stories.

*by P***X on June 29, 2018*

Not Osamu's best, but this manga has a bunch of short stories (that are not connected) and each story has an interesting idea and that's what I liked about it. I don't think I need to say anything about the art style cuz it's Osamu Tezuka we're taking about! You'll find some familiar Tezuka characters here, but playing different roles as they don't represent their original characters. It was cool to see them in different stories.
