Honey Bee's Adventure

A linden tree stands in a vast field, and there lies a hive honeybees call home. Honey the honeybee, one of the bees of this hive, leaves home to gather nectar. His journey will lead him to encountering insects of all sorts - even ones that threaten the safety of his hive. This was Leiji Matsumoto's debut work, when he was only 16 years old (under the name Akira Matsumoto). --- - **Winner of the 1st Manga Shonen Newcomer King Award in February 1954**
