The story follows the lives of ordinary to the extraordinary, from the earliest days of mankind to the end of it and its rebirth.
For different reasons, someone in each arc of series is either approached by the Phoenix or seeks it for its blood, so they can obtain immortality. Each story brings up controversial topics, taboos, and how things used to be and how things may be in the future.
Phoenix is simply a story about life, its hardships, its joys and where life takes the characters.
Phoenix was inspired by the fire-birds that are seen in the 1947 film The Humpbacked Horse.
To test out the reaction and demand for the series, Viz Media released Phoenix Volume 2: Future, as a standalone title under the name "Phoenix: A Tale Of The Future" on July 6, 2002.
