Message to Adolf

Message to Adolf (Japanese: アドルフに告ぐ, Hepburn: Adorufu ni Tsugu), known in earlier English translations as Adolf, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka. Set before, during, and after World War II, the story is centered on three men who share the name Adolf. Adolf Kamil is an Ashkenazi Jew living in Japan. His best friend Adolf Kaufmann is of both Japanese and German descent. The third Adolf is Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Germany. The manga also features Sohei Toge, a Japanese reporter, and his quest for documents that could turn the tide of the war. The work explores the themes of nationality, ethnicity, racism, and war, and includes elements of coming of age, spy fiction, and historical drama.

Message to Adolf is considered the last completed serialized work of Tezuka's career. Viz Media published the manga as Adolf in English in the 1990s. Vertical, Inc. re-licensed the series and published a new translation in 2012.
