The Wonderful Journey

Based on the 1941 film “Here Comes Mr. Jordan” (later re-made as “Heaven Can Wait”) this is the tale of a man who is pulled from his body too soon who finds himself traveling from body to body until he can find the right one to settle in. At the beginning of the manga Tezuka constructs a movie set for the action of his manga to take place, based upon the original movie, and then lets his characters run wild.
