Line 6:
An epic story of war, friendship and betrayal from [[Osamu Tezuka|the God of Manga himself]]. Spanning approximately half a century, from the Berlin Olympics to the then-present of [[The Eighties]], focusing primarily on the years leading up to [[World War Two]], ''Adolf'' is [[Genre Busting|by turns a]] [[Coming of Age Story]], [[Spy Fiction]], Romance & a fairly well-done [[Author Tract]] about the evils of war and racism.
One thing that makes ''Adolf'' fairly unique is that, despite having only one name in the title, it has [[Name's the Same|three title characters]]. They are '''Adolf''' Kaufman, the son of a German diplomat and his Japanese wife; Adolf Kamil, the Japanese-born son of a pair of Jewish German expat bakers; [[Adolf Hitler|and some guy who flunked out of art school]].
What's also interesting is that unlike most WWII stories you're probably familiar with, it gives an intimate look into the daily lives of people in the Axis Powers. Tezuka himself lived through the war and many of the later chapters were based on his own experiences with dodging American incendiaries as a lad.
