Apollo's Song (Japanese: アポロの歌, Hepburn: Aporo no Uta) is a manga written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka.
Tezuka describes love and death as a cycle that men and women must endure and repeat until the end of time.
Shogo Chikaishi (近石昭吾) is a boy whose single mother never knew his father as he was born after a series of affairs.
In his first experience, Shogo is in Nazi Germany as a German stormtrooper, where he falls in love with the Jewish woman named Elise.
His speed running from the police is witnessed by Hiromi Watari (渡ひろみ), so she takes him to train to be a marathon runner.
Unconscious, Shogo has a vision of a dystopian future in which humans are subjugated by a race of clones called Synthians.
After this, Shogo is brought back before Athena, who tells him that he must continue to endure pain and suffering whenever he finds love for the rest of eternity.
