The individual stories are sometimes interesting, sometimes...too much. One story is set in South Africa in the 70s and the portrayal of Black people is so very racist.
There's also a multi-chapter story arc about a Bird Jesus who tries to spread his message that the birds had become too much like humans, which is destroying their society.
Basically, Tezuka created Planet of the Birds vs Planet of the Apes. Without one cohesive story, but with random vignettes throughout bird history.

New Read - Tomorrow the Birds (Single Volume)
I am going to name a few things present in Tomorrow the Birds (written 1971-1975) before going into my review...cause they're important to note: Violence, rape, Bird Jesus, murder, racism.
Now, with the out of the way, let's talk.
Tomorrow the Birds is a series of vignettes beginning in the 1970s where birds are given higher intellect and take over the planet as the dominant species, knocking out humanity.
Some stories are self-contained, some build on each other. But they start with bird takeover and go to advanced bird society over time.

New Manga Read - Bomba!
Legendary manga creator Osamu Tezuka wrote the single volume story Bomba! in 1970. It's...a giant trigger warning.
The story involves an abused teenage boy who becomes obsessed with his middle school teacher and summons the ghost of a horse (Bomba) from his father's days in the Japanese military during World War II to kill those he hates.
When he realizes that he was delusional, he hates himself. Bomba comes for him...
It's a lot. Also, ghost horse murders of hundreds of people isn't really delved into as our main character learns to love himself and gets a happy ending.
Uhm...no thanks.
