Holy crap, Batman!

I must admit, I compulsively buy volumes of One Thousand and One Nights whenever I see them because they're gorgeous and the stories Sehara tells can be interesting. I have not read past volume four because the framework of the series irks me horribly. BUT, I was just flipping through volume six last night that came in the mail....and uh, woah----Bishounen Socrates and Alcibiades lovefest! AND AND AND Critias is the bad guy. I about died laughing because that's the craziest thing with history I've seen done to date in that series...and uh, the Julius Caesar one was pretty crazy.

I just had to share Pretty!Socrates is hilarious...as well as Alcibiades being a little girly boy...I just...wow...it almost makes me want to get out Plato's dialogues and re-read them...well at least Alcibiades and Critias.

Question to the interwebz at large

Any one reading/read Osamu Tezuka? I have been reading Black Jack and started Apollo's Song as well as the homage/retelling(?) Pluto: Urazawa X Tezuka. Just curious because he is as manga god, and I can sorta see why, but no one else I know has read/is reading anything by him and I feel lonesome and would like thoughts/opinions.
