Read the first volume of this today at Borders, coincidentally enough it's published by the same people publishing Guin Saga in America: VERTICAL

The story: a guy sells his baby off to some demons in exchange to rule Japan. The agreement is done in selling him off by 48 parts, and from birth the baby is born without any limbs, no nose, no eyes, no speech, and they cast him away baby Moses style to die. He gets found by a doctor, they have this sort of Pinochio & Gepetto relationship ( guess this is something Tezuka really liked, and the face shaped tumors from Black Jack are also here ), until the demons come back to claim the rest of the body. The kid is named Hyakkimaru and he goes on a quest to fight them off and get his bodyparts back as he goes. Then he runs into this other kid named Dororo, who comes off as Isidro and/or Puc and they go around village to dell getting in trouble fighting demons and being outcasts.

So yeah, check this shit out.
