Tetsujin 28 Vol 3 The Phantom Thief

The journey begins when Professor Kaneda creates the ultimate soldier robot, Tetsujin, as a substitute for his son, Shotaro, whom he mistakenly believed died in a bomb raid on Tokyo during World War II. To prevent the army from using Tetsujin as a tool for destruction, the professor hides the robot on a remote island. Ten years after the war, Tetsujin is finally resurrected after 28 attempts made by the late Professor Kaneda's protege, Professor Shikishima. Meanwhile, Shotaro has grown up to become a genius boy detective and now joins forces with his beloved Tetsujin to wage a courageous battle against evil! A legendary masterpiece, which shines in the history of postwar manga, is now resurrected brilliantly! A failed experiment from the war years demonstrates an overwhelming power comparable to Tetsujin's, and Professor Shikishima is taken hostage! Professor Shikishima learns about the ill-fated man's past and a bittersweet story comes to light. As Shotaro and Chief Otsuka investigate this and other disturbances, one thing becomes clear: the sins of the past are beginning to come to light and like it or not, Post-war Japan will have to face them head on or risk being plunged into darkness once again.
