'''''Metropolis''''', also known as '''''Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis''''' is a [[manga]] by [[Osamu Tezuka]] and an [[anime]] [[film|movie]] based off of the manga.
Despite some similarities, this work was not at all influenced by [[Fritz Lang]]'s pre-World War II epic ''[[Metropolis (1927 movie)|Metropolis]]''. In fact, Tezuka Osamu had not seen the film at the time when he was working on this story. However, his creation of the character Mitchi was based on the only still picture of the movie that he had seen, which depicted the birth of a female robot.
The manga is published in [[English language|English]] by [[Dark Horse Comics]].
