Phoenix is Tezuka’s unfinished manga series. There are a total of 12 volumes out and each one tells a separate story set in a different era. The manga was originally serialized from 1954 to 1988 in multiple magazines. The story was never finished because Osamu Tezuka died in 1989. He is a well-known author, known for many works, including Astro Boy, Dororo, Black Jack, and more. He played a key role in popularizing manga and is often referred to as “the godfather of manga.”
Viz Media published all the volumes in English. The licensor describes the plot as:
With grand historical sweep, this self-contained opening volume of Osamu Tezuka’s acclaimed Phoenix saga is an epic account of the human spirit in a time of chaos and warfare, where would-be warrior Nagi and his crew struggle against the elements, invaders, and history itself.

Romi and her partner leave the Earth, which is facing the end of its life, and head for the planet Eden 17 to start a new life. However, life on the planet is already extinct. The two struggle to start their lives anew, but a series of hardships force Romi to endure even more trouble.
