"An advocate for robot rights and a renowned European robot have been murdered. Gesicht, the detective assigned to the case, has deduced that the killer is targeting the great robots of the world - which means that he too is one of the targets. Gesicht takes it upon himself to warn the potential targets, and Atom, the famous boy robot from Japan is next on his list."--P.[4] of cover.
In a distant future where sentient humanoid robots pass for human, someone or some thing is out to destroy the seven great robots of the world. Europol’s top detective Gesicht is assigned to investigate these mysterious robot serial murders—the only catch is that he himself is one of the seven targets.
When robots become so highly advanced in function, yet so similar in kind to humans, societal resistance is inevitable. In this backdrop of technophobic discrimination, Europol’s top robot detective Gesicht and Atom, the most advanced robot in the world continue their investigation into the serial murders of the great robots of the world. The leaves of this mystery masterfully unfold into a complex intersection of reactionary robot hate groups, global politics, and an exploration of robot identity.

Esta é a história de três Adolfs. O primeiro deles é o primogênito do cônsul da Alemanha em Kobe. O outro é filho de judeus que também moram no Japão. E o terceiro é… Adolf Hitler. Mas, além do nome, como a história de pessoas tão distintas pode se encontrar a ponto de escrever seu destino?
Em Recado a Adolf, o célebre autor de mangás Osamu Tezuka se debruça sobre um dos episódios mais infames da humanidade, a ascensão do Partido Nazista, para nos trazer um conto fascinante que mistura os gêneros policial, espionagem e aventura. Enquanto o mundo assiste atônito a famílias inteiras e países sendo arrastados pelo horror de um movimento político autoritário que se desenvolveu na Alemanha, ironicamente, em Berlim, durante os Jogos Olímpicos de 1936, o jornalista nipônico Souhei Touge toma conhecimento de um segredo que pode pôr fim à marcha de Hitler… mas não sem graves consequências. A partir de informações valiosas de seu irmão, que integrava um grupo de esquerda, o repórter começa a costurar os retalhos de uma trama sórdida que o leva de volta à sua terra natal e que envolve pessoas do alto escalão da Alemanha Nazista. Que segredo é esse que pode destruir o pior Adolf que o mundo já conheceu? E ainda: qual a ligação dos jovens amigos Adolf Kauffman e Adolf Kamil nisso tudo?
Essas são perguntas que a editora Pipoca & Nanquim convida seus leitores a verem respondidas nos dois volumes de uma das obras mais importantes do Deus dos Mangás.
Este segundo volume, com 676 páginas, capa cartão e contendo os capítulos 17 a 36, também traz um posfácio de Osamu Tezuka a respeito da obra e suas impressões, e um glossário especial com contextualizações e termos presentes na narrativa.

Told in bold layouts and mind-warping page designs that revolutionized Japanese comics, this is the work of the greatest manga artist of them all, Osamu Tezuka, soaring at the height of his powers.
