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. 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.[2][3] 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.[1] After Tezuka's death, the manga was left unfinished and published only in Japanese until a Kickstarter campaign funded its translation into English.[3]
