Title: Mitsume ga Tooru

Alternative Names: L'enfant Aux Trois Yeux, The Three Eyed One

Author: Tezuka Osamu

Status: Complete - 13 Volumes

Summary: To learn about his roots, Sharaku must investigate the mysterious ruins that a long lost civilization called the Three-Eyed Ones bequeathed to him. In his worldwide search, which takes both he and Chiyoko Wato to locations like Arizona, Easter Island, and Mexico, Sharaku deciphers ancient scriptures and uses gadgets he invents to help solve (or start) problems and mysteries.

Sharaku is frequently bullied for his childishness, and as such the story is also about how he fights back when the x-shaped bandage that covers his third eye is removed. Behind the bandage is hidden Sharaku's malicious third eye, and the boy's hidden evil genius emerges when it can see. Sharaku's rivalries with teachers or students are occasionally developed into major plot points.

Some of the story's appeal is that Osamu Tezuka, the story's author, has Sharaku investigate actual historic ruins that are shrouded in mystery and offer his own unique ideas. For instance, Sharaku opposes the notion that Sakabune Ishi was used to distribute the garden's water. Instead, he suggests that it was a drug purification device.

It's a shame this was dropped.
I'm sure that not many have heard of this series, and that kind of makes me want to cry. It's famous in Japan - about as well-known as, say, Detective Conan or Poke'mon. Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, and Black Jack were all series (and characters) thought up by the same author, so it's kind of hard to believe that this is so little-known, but alas...
As for the story - Sharaku Hosuke, the main character, is such a compelling hero - not to mention a scary villain! As he is completely unaware of his evil side when his eye is sealed, it's hard to decide if you want to slap or hug the boy during the course of the story. I'd give it a full five stars... and I've only watched the anime!
