The Three-Eyed One

is a Japanese science fiction romance manga by Osamu Tezuka. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine from 7 July 1974 through 19 March 1978 and was later published into thirteen tankōbon by Kodansha.

Plot
Hosuke Sharaku (also called the "Evil Prince") is the heir to the long lost super civilization of the "Three-Eyed Ones". A little middle-school boy with terrible power, the third eye on his forehead when opened, releases extremely dangerous mystical energy that turns him into an evil sorcerer bent on world domination. To protect mankind from his terrible power, Sharaku is made to wear a bandage which seals his third eye which is often done by his best friend, Chiyoko Wato. While his eye is sealed, Sharaku is just a regular boy who is unaware of his evil half.
