Despite this, and indeed because of it, the 1970s really show Tezuka at his best. His artwork is now regularly highlighted by intriguing panel deigns and a more complex cinematography, while his themes become more morally mature and complex and his pacing, though still frenetic, is more even and balanced. This is a period of great manga production, both in terms of quantity and quality, as the punishing requirements of his commercial animation ventures are no longer vying for his creative energy.<\/p>\n<p>Early on in the decade, Tezuka&#8217;s manga work turns towards biting social commentary &#8211; be it on sex education in <em>Yakeppachi&#8217;s Maria<\/em> (1970) or <a title=\"Apollo\u2019s Song (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=76\"><em>Apollo&#8217;s Song<\/em> (1970)<\/a>, the medical establishment in <a title=\"Ode to Kirihito (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=741\"><em>Ode to Kirihito<\/em> (1970-71)<\/a>, the insect-like qualities of human society in <a title=\"Book of Human Insects (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=582\"><em>Book of Human Insects<\/em> (1970-71)<\/a>, the American influence in the post-war shift in land rights in<a title=\"Ayako (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=170\"> <em>Ayako<\/em> (1972-73)<\/a>, or even the very nature of an artist&#8217;s muse in <a title=\"Barbara (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=172\"><em>Barbara<\/em> (1973-74)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even Tezuka&#8217;s biographical manga treatment of the life of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Siddhartha_Gautama\">Siddhartha Gautama<\/a> in <a title=\"Buddha (Manga)\" href=\"https:\/\/tezuka.strobez.ca\/wp\/?page_id=596\"><em>Buddha<\/em> (1972-83)<\/a>, a series that intimately illustrates Tezuka&#8217;s own beliefs on reincarnation and the sanctity of life, cannot be called an overly optimistic one.<\/p>\n<p>Tezuka&#8217;s dark mood also permeates his <em>sh\u014dnen<\/em>, or &#8220;boy&#8217;s&#8221; adventure mangas.

Even in his most dedicated exploration of mankind&#8217;s capacity for evil, in <em>MW<\/em> (1976-78) one gets the impression he is using it to strategically provoke a response rather than simply overwhelming the reader.
