Bouddha

A serene and epic retelling of the life of Siddhartha Gautama, this 8-issue series from Tonkam (1997–1999) adapts the spiritual journey of the historical Buddha with a focus on his quest for enlightenment. The work is most associated with the celebrated manga artist Osamu Tezuka, whose signature style and humanistic storytelling bring warmth and depth to ancient Indian legends. It matters as a thoughtful, accessible entry point into Buddhist philosophy through the medium of comics, showcasing Tezuka's versatility beyond his more famous sci-fi and adventure tales.
