{"product_id":"9781945054051","title":"MW","description":"A secret U.S. chemical weapon called \"MW\" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully \"anti-Tezuka\" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.","brand":"Kodansha USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137881358576,"sku":"9781945054051","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781945054051_p0.jpg?v=1763767344","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781945054051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
