This volume continues Osamu Tezuka's epic manga biography of Siddhartha Gautama, covering the young prince's early life as he ventures beyond the palace walls and confronts the realities of old age, sickness, and death. The Four Encounters adapts the classic Buddhist narrative of the four sights that set Siddhartha on his spiritual journey, blending historical drama with Tezuka's signature humanistic storytelling. Collecting the second installment of Vertical's English-language release of Tezuka's eight-volume series.
