In Buddha: Volume 6: Ananda, the title character is a heartless criminal with no morals, until he falls in love. However when she dies, Ananda loses as much faith in life as he had once had in greed and power. When Ananda crosses the Buddha's path, our sage leader shows Ananda the meaning of penance and assures him that though karma can be harsh, it will be worth it if only for the peace it brings to his fellow man.
Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) is the godfather of Japanese manga comics and the creator of the iconic character Astro Boy. He originally intended to become a doctor and earned his degree before turning to what was considered the frivolous medium of comic book art. With his sweeping vision, deftly intertwined plots, and indefatigable commitment to human dignity, Tezuka elevated manga to an art form. His eight-volume epic Buddha, winner of the Eisner and Harvey Awards, is available from Vertical.
