One Hundred Tales is a story about being careful what you wish for.
Ichirui Hanri is an ordinary accountant servicing his master. Though innocent, he is ordered to commit hara-kiri after being entangled in some trouble in his master's house. Just then, a witch named Sudama appears. She signs a contract with Hanri to obtain his soul in exchange for fulfilling three of his wishes. Hanri gets what he wants...but the price he pays is too high.
An enchanting supernatural fable from Osamu Tezuka, known worldwide as the "Godfather of Manga" and the most influential person of the past century in the development of Japanese manga and anime.
"Osamu Tezuka's One Hundred Tales is a masterful rendition of the old Faust tale, done only in the trademark way in which Tezuka is capable. It's equal parts funny and sad, and it leaves us with an ending that is both uplifting a wistful. Tezuka's masterful storytelling breathes a different life into an old tale, and it was wonderful to be able to finally read it. Highly recommended." - Fandom Post
