Buddha, Volume 1: Kapilavastu (Buddha)

Beautiful illustrations and a page-turning story. I wonder how closely it lines up with Buddhist mythology?

Amazing series

Excellent manga classic by the master osamu tezuka, depicting gayatama siddharta buddha's life. the art is exquisite, oscillating between the epic and comedy, interspersed with contemporary references that reminds your status as readers. This is an impeccable companion to any student of buddhism, if nothing for the history of the buddha.

Osamu tezuka is known as the father of Graphic Novels. Read this novel to know why..

Amazing series of graphic novels by the late Osamu Tezuka, 'father of manga', about the life of Buddha. I appreciate the sense of humor it has, the translations are funny when they try to be contemporary (calling animals his "peeps" I think) but a great read nonetheless, and easy burn through in a day.

Could not wait to read each and every volume,

Tezuka is a great storyteller and this is his absolute masterpiece. It's a book you HAVE to check out even if the subject does not appeal to you...You will be amazed!

an interesting book by manga master, osamu tezuka...
