This volume chronicles the Buddha’s life as a prince up until his renunciation of his title. I found this volume much more enjoyable than its predecessor, as Tezuka’s new characters cease to get in the way of the actual narrative, and instead feel like they are contributing to the traditional legends. Tezuka’s quirky, anachronistic jokes continue to flood the pages of this manga, but again, because the story has actually picked up in this volume, they don’t feel so overbearing as they did before. I’ve heard others say that after two or three volumes, they still didn’t get into this manga, but I feel that if you can slog through the first one it should be able to sink its fans into you.
