YES i'm overjoyed with this finally 15 volumes at once !!!
At this point i could care less that the other 13 are gonna be limited let other's buy Naruto,Bleach Sword Art Online,Moe and most of that other commercial fluff that's on the New York Times Best seller manga list ... We finally get what we want !!!
Wonder 3 (still need to the anime of that in English ...) and Ambassador Magma i have been wanting on for years ... and Tezuka's experimental manga are amazing so there's lot's of diversity this time.

Also it's almost April now that means The Under the Air Kickstarter is gonna come out with Record of the Glass Castle, Melody of Iron and guess what else ?
THE CRATER 3.5 years of frustration is coming to an end all because of that fraud Adrew Nevo with his fake company Kansai Club ... i found it a bit weak that ANN never confirmed that that he was in fact a fraud you just said that he never released it ...
Also Amazon and Kickstarter didn't give a damn either they got the money sometimes evil doesn't get punished ...

This was definitely one of the faster to succeed Tezuka Kickstarters. No doubt thanks to the books all being available up front in pledge tiers rather than being far off stretch goals or add ons that your average joe might not understand how to do.

I'm certainly looking forward to this solid collection of books. I'm going to be hitting my fourth dedicated shelf for Osamu Tezuka manga at this rate. Need to move the volumes from my half-bookshelf to one of the full-sized ones.

I got to get these titles. But I'm having trouble picking the link that will allow me to pick the full package.

If you just want all the books physically, you want:

"Pledge $175 or more
All Print Edition Books Over Here!!!"

If you want physical and digital:

"Pledge $229 or more
All Books Digital + Print Economy Pack!"

Anything higher than that gets you that plus extras, like a calendar, some art books, or some old Astro Boy merch.

We don't need the digital just the prints stuff. And I was looking at that tier but then I saw all the other stuff which are different. Like the artbooks. But there is no tier where you could get all those plus the books.

Well, the art books they provided they had anywhere between 1-4 copies of each. They probably were just given a limited supply of old Japanese art books to give out. Not anything they printed themselves.

That sucks. We could really have used those books. And plus, I would have liked to have seen more information on the page count. That's always important. If I was able to buy a tier and then add extra payments for just those books that would be great. I'm gonna contact them. But I'm not going to hold my breath. But getting the main books is what we want.

Thanks for the help. Surprised

If you scroll down, there's info on the books:

"Osamu Tezuka’s Cover Art Archives

Color illustrations from his early publishing career to his latest works — from books, magazine covers, collections, records, calendars, with over 1,200 illustrative works! This is not the book to miss out on!
Text: Japanese; 247 pages; dimensions : 29.9 x 21.2 x 2.1 cm
Tiers that include this perk: $285–Full Eco Pack + Tezuka Cover Collection
(Limited to only 10 available)"

"Romanesque (Osamu Tezuka Beauties illustration collection)
A rare masterpiece collection of Osamu Tezuka’s work showcasing female character beauties from his manga works such as from Barbara, to heroic female roles like Ribbon Knight, and to cute characters like Pinoco from Black Jack.
Text: Japanese; 144 pages; dimensions : 30 x 232 x 2 cm
Tiers that include this perk: $300–Full Eco Pack + Romanesque

There's more than that, but I didn't want to fill this thread with them.

But yeah, glad to help.
