What happens

Next World (Japanese: 来るべき世界, Hepburn: Kitarubeki Sekai), also known as Nextworld, is a Japanese science fiction manga series, written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka in 1951. It is the third and final work in what is regarded as Osamu Tezuka's early science fiction trilogy, consisting of Lost World (1948), Metropolis (1949) and Nextworld (1951). Though they are separate, self-contained stories, they are often collected together in reprints. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
