About the series
Osamu Tezuka’s Buddha is a sweeping, deeply human epic that brings the life of Siddhartha Gautama to vivid life with his signature blend of emotional depth and kinetic storytelling. Following the prince’s journey from palace to pilgrimage, the manga explores profound questions of suffering, identity, and compassion through a richly drawn world of Indian culture, spiritual conflict, and personal transformation. Tezuka’s masterful art and narrative clarity make this a timeless meditation on enlightenment, rendered with warmth, urgency, and unwavering respect for the complexity of the human experience.
