From Titan Comics: ATOM: The Beginning is an original manga based on the God of Manga Osamu Tezuka’s world-famous series Astro Boy. It works both as a prequel to the original series, telling the stories of the developers of the artificial intelligence that would eventually give birth to the iconic Atom, and as a stand-alone sci-fi manga about the turbulent lives of two robotic engineering students and their latest revolutionary project: the unassuming yet insanely strong A106, or “Six.” **Official Japanese:** [Heros](https://viewer.heros-web.com/episode/10834108156632483741), [Piccoma](https://piccoma.com/web/product/2736?etype=episode), [Shogakukan](https://csbs.shogakukan.co.jp/book?comic_id=21498) Official Korean: [Kakao Page](https://page.kakao.com/content/59260832), [Naver Series](https://series.naver.com/comic/detail.series?productNo=8398473), [RIDI](https://ridibooks.com/books/4593000139)
