Summary
IMMORTALITY， BUT AT WHAT COST？
In the Glass Mansion， a family has been frozen in cryosleep for 20 years under the orders of their patriarch。 When the oldest son Ichirou awakes， he struggles to accept the reality that he has slept away 20 years of his life。 Ichirou plans to exact revenge on those in his family that stole his life from him。 As Shirou， the youngest brother， attempts to stop Ichirou， he becomes aware of the dangerous side effect of cryosleep that led to its national ban years ago。 How far will Ichirou fall， and will Shirou be able to stop him？
In Record of the Glass Castle， Osamu Tezuka tackles the great quandary of immortality at the cost of humanity， in a different， much darker light than he often does in his better-known masterpieces like Phoenix。 In this tale， the search for humanity seems more hopeless than ever， tangled in hatred， greed， and lust。 This one volume series is a must-read for the fans of Tezuka’s dark side， as well as those who can appreciate a story that won’t spell out all the answers。

Not one of Tezuka's best。 I loved the technology and the cryogenic/death sentence concepts， but the story didn't go anywhere particularly interesting。 None of the characters were more than two-dimensional or relate-able in the least。 It also didn't help that it was an unfinished story。 Many of the （non-sci-fi） story elements were executed far better in Ayako， but that story doesn't have the same sci-fi trappings。 Worth reading for Tezuka fans， but otherwise look for better works。 Not one of Tezuka's best。 I loved the technology and the cryogenic/death sentence concepts， but the story didn't go anywhere particularly interesting。 None of the characters were more than two-dimensional or relate-able in the least。 It also didn't help that it was an unfinished story。 Many of the （non-sci-fi） story elements were executed far better in Ayako， but that story doesn't have the same sci-fi trappings。 Worth reading for Tezuka fans， but otherwise look for better works。 。。。more

Finishing this book was an arduous task。 Normally， I can read comics quickly， but the plot in this one bored me so much that I had a hard time wanting to read it。 The characters were unenjoyable and did not encourage me， either。 I felt like Tezuka wanted to accomplish something specific in this one， and it does have some interesting ideas， but it suffers from leaving those concepts shallow and unexplored。 But hey--with a list of over 200 comic series， not every book is going to be a winner， so I Finishing this book was an arduous task。 Normally， I can read comics quickly， but the plot in this one bored me so much that I had a hard time wanting to read it。 The characters were unenjoyable and did not encourage me， either。 I felt like Tezuka wanted to accomplish something specific in this one， and it does have some interesting ideas， but it suffers from leaving those concepts shallow and unexplored。 But hey--with a list of over 200 comic series， not every book is going to be a winner， so I appreciate it for the peek into Tezuka's development as an artist that it provides。 。。。more
