Buddha is the last epic comic work by Tezuka Osamu. The story is about the young prince Siddhartha, who embarks on a spiritual journey and becomes Gautama Buddha in ancient India. It chronicles the life of Siddartha, from beginning to end. Meanwhile, it spans multiple kingdoms and generations of characters. The long term effects of these characters and stories often cascade unpredictably, highlighting the interconnectedness of life. Similarly, characters go through numerous ups and downs, with many dying, emphasizing impermanence. Personally, I really don't like the caste system in India, and I think that's the reason why so many tragedies happened. It's a desperate age, constant warfare and injustices in the caste system, people want to get redemption.
Overall, I really like the story Osamu depicted. I think it's a journey of self-redemption, also brings hopeless people rebirth. This is a kind of book you can read it again and again, I think you will have different feelings and thoughts in different ages or period.
