4.5 stars and an A for this really well-done narration of Buddha's life (well, he's just born in this one but you get what I mean). I really liked the illustrations, particularly of nature - the Himalayas, the doe-eyed animals. The imaginary characters were interesting crafted, the humor works well - it's modern but also not? A good balance to strike which makes it relatable. 

I can't wait to read the next one, but I don't think my uni library has it, but I'll get around to reading it sooner or later anyway.

Rifqaiza Pravangesta

The first volume of Tesuka Osamu's fictional biography of Siddhartha, Gautama Buddha. Introduces Chapra, a slave boy who tries to escape his fate; Chapra's slave mother, who sticks by him no matter what; Tatta, a crazed wild child pariah who communes with animals; and Naradatta, a monk attempting to decipher strange portents of the Buddha's birth.

'Buddha' is the ultimate example of Tezuka's storytelling genius and artistic mastery. The progenitor of manga as we know it, and the inspiration for countless artists, Tezuka continues to elicit the deepest awe with his sweeping grasp of the human condition.
