Human Metamorphosis, a satirical Manga depicting human society compared to the insect world, focuses on the life of a devious woman. Tomura Toshiko, who is said to be a genius, is a rising star writer. Her novel wins the Akutagawa Prize for the best novel of the year. While she attends the award ceremony, another woman named Usuba Kageri commits suicide in another place. It turns out that Kageri and Toshiko used to live together, and the awarded novel was copied from Kageri's transcript. Toshiko is like a parasite: approaching talented people one after another, squeezing everything out of them and stealing their works for her own fame. Behind her success story, she has her secrets.

Dust 8

A plane crashes and 8 people survive – and they shouldn’t have save for the fact that the mountain has an unusual magical property and the survivors were all hit with rocks from the mountain during the crash. As long as they keep those rocks, they stay alive. But the guardian of the mountain sends two people after the survivors to get the rocks back, in the disguise of two children killed in the crash.

Originally under the title "Dust 18" (and was meant to be 18 chapters). It was not popular during serialization, and thus was not able to properly conclude. It was later reworked and touched up as "Dust 8" when it was collected in the Tezuka 400. (Tezuka's afterword)

A gekiga work serialized prior to Barefoot Gen.

It's about young people in postwar Hiroshima getting involved in the black market for weapons. The main character is an A-bomb survivor whose hatred drives him to kill an American black marketeer.

He asks the Americans, "Who are you to talk about justice when you massacred hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Hiroshima, in Nagasaki, in the firebombing of Tokyo? Was that what you call justice?"  
  
Considered to be a controversial work amongst some American readers, due to the criticism directed toward America for the atomic bomb by the mangaka.

A Drifting Life

Essay Manga covering Mangaka Yoshihiro Tatsumi's life from the post-war period in the 50s, leading into the 60s. Tatsumi also covers many of the significant elements in his life. 

Ranging from his familial situation, and the discrepancies that he had with his brother, also a Mangaka, to his relationship with Osamu Tezuka, his works and the brief time that he met him, and, of course, the start of his career in manga and working towards what he would later call "Gekiga". 

Gekiga Drift was published in English as "A Drifting Life" by Canadian based publisher Drawn and Quarterly in 2009. 

Unfortunately, the release was flipped and had the SFX redrawn. Despite multiple printings and high regard for the work, it is currently out-of-print with no digital edition.

Black Jack

Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' lives (as long as they have the money for it), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.  

Out of a total of 243 chapters chapter 113.5: 'U-18 Knew' was released in a Weekly Shonen Champion special issue and thos it's unnumbered. Also, 11 chapters were not included in the Vertical English release, out of those 11 chapters: 3 were exclusively Included in the hardcover editions of volumes 1-3, and 5 of them are labeled as [Sealed](http://tezukainenglish.com/wp/?page_id=573) meaning they have been excluded from almost every collected release because they were controversial or Osamu wasn't happy with them.

Lady Snowblood

What is Lady Snowblood about? Vengeance. Pure and simple, this is a revenge story. Yuki was named as a child of hell by her mother. Yuki's father was killed by a group of men who conspired to use him to start an uprising; they then brutalized her mother. Her mother subsequently killed one of her attackers and ended up in jail, where Yuki is born. Yuki's mother was serving a life sentence; there was no way she could escape and continue her revenge. Consequently, she concocted a plan which included seducing the guards in order to produce a child who could pass beyond the prison walls. Dying in childbirth, Yuki's mother impresses upon a friend the importance of imparting to her infant daughter the necessity of her revenge–the grudge that she could no longer carry, but which she passed to her daughter. The friend agrees to do so, and Yuki ("snow," so named for her snow-white skin) is trained to become the instrument of her mother's vengenace. Twenty years later, Yuki is a skilled assassin. For the price of 1,000 yen she will perform murderous miracles, often proceeding through trickery, deceit, and the assumption that as a woman she poses as little threat to the criminals she is often dispatching.

Buddha

(from ebookjapan):

Some 3,500 years ago, the Arians living on the banks of the Indus River had established a caste system with Brahmins at the top. Shortly before the birth of Siddhartha, the hero of this story, Chapra, who was born a slave, became his adopted son after helping a general of the Kosala kingdom. 

He then hid his origins and sought the position of power, but Chapra, too, could not escape the curse of the status system... 

Here begins the epic story of the Buddha's life and the times in which he lived!

The complete biography of Buddha, as seen by Osamu Tezuka.
