Did you miss out on your copy of Swallowing The Earth? Well here's your chance to get a brand new copy at a reasonable price... and help out fellow Osamu Tezuka fans at the same time.
Digital Manga originally published Osamu Tezuka’s Swallowing the Earth in 2009, but the small print run quickly sold out and the book has been out of print for a while now. However, in order to raise the funds necessary to reprint the book, they’ve decided to set up a Kickstarter project. If they can raise $3,950 or more, then contributors will get copies, as well as bonuses of other manga, either print or digital.
