Phoenix, Vol. 1 by Osamu Tezuka

Dawn

In a sweeping, genre-blending tale that moves between mythic pasts and far-reaching futures, a series of linked stories follows people driven by grief, ambition, and the longing to overcome death as they seek the legendary phoenix whose blood can grant eternal life; their quests expose the costs of obsession, the futility and beauty of clinging to permanence, and the moral and spiritual consequences that ripple across generations as fate, technology, and human desire collide.
