Buddha, Volume 1: Kapilavastu by Osamu Tezuka

5.0

Tezuka is so good. not that much happens in this first and preliminary book of the BUDDHA octet. You could probably condense the story into a few thousand words. Siddhartha is only just a baby at the end. But just rich and natural graphic narrative-making, humor, casual nudity. Nice translation, too, although it might not age beautifully. Can't for the next seven books of this.
