![]() In 1770, Ludwig van Beethoven is born in Bonn, Germany. The story begins in Vienna with the birth of Franz Kreuzstein, a young man who avows to hate anyone named "Ludwig" since the screech of a peacock of the same name caused the death of his mother. After Tezuka's death, the manga was left unfinished and published only in Japanese until a Kickstarter campaign funded its translation into English. The manga began in June 1987 with intentions to encompass the entire artistic path of Beethoven until his maturity, but was interrupted by Tezuka's death in 1989. The manga focuses on Beethoven's struggles and passions as a youth, including the deterioration of his hearing, his relationship with his abusive, alcoholic father, and his self-expression through music. Ludwig B ( Japanese: ルードヴィヒ・B, Hepburn: Rudovihi B) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka as a biographical adaptation of the early life of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven. ![]()
