was a
manga magazine started in January 1967 by
Osamu Tezuka. It was started in response to the success of
Garo (which at that time was around its highest circulation), and as a way for Tezuka and other artists to showcase more
avant-garde and experimental works in manga. The first seven stories of
Phoenix were the most famous work to be published from this anthology before it went under in 1972. In addition, the famous feminist cartoonist
Murasaki Yamada got her start working for this anthology.
