ATOM: The Beginning is an aesthetically striking series that blazes its own trail and also speaks to fans of the iconic Astro Boy and God of Manga Osamu Tezuka. It' s a story chock-full of both heart and humor for fans of action-packed science fiction, robots, and manga. ATOM: The Beginning is an original manga based on the God of Manga Osamu Tezuka' s world-famous series Astro Boy. It works both as a prequel to the original series, telling the stories of the developers of the artificial intelligence that would eventually give birth to the iconic Atom, and as a stand-alone sci-fi manga about the turbulent lives of two robotic engineering students and their latest revolutionary project: the unassuming yet insanely strong A106, or ' Six. ' Series Overview: ATOM: The Beginning is an ongoing manga series that' s presented as a prequel to the renamed Astro Boy series by Osamu Tezuka, one of the most important people in manga history. It' s written by Masami Yuuki and drawn by Tetsuro Kasahara, with supervision by Makoto Tezuka (Osamu Tezuka' s son) and Tezuka Productions. It started its serialization in 2014 and had an anime adaptation in 2017.
