Buddha #7

This seventh volume of Osamu Tezuka's epic manga biography of Siddhartha follows the rise of Prince Ajatasattu, whose ambition and rivalry with the Buddha's disciples drive a dark turn in the narrative. Collecting the middle portion of the original Japanese series, it explores themes of power, betrayal, and spiritual conflict as the prince's actions reshape the political landscape of ancient India. Tezuka's signature blend of historical drama, philosophical depth, and expressive artwork continues to define this landmark retelling of the Buddha's life and era.
