The second in the series on Buddha’s life continues as Buddha grows into a young man and the supporting characters grow up. Not much to add from the first review – it’s a great read and the additional characters that Tezuka adds into the mix are interesting and engaging in their own way, with their own stories to bring. Perhaps my only gripe at this point is that I’m now getting confused where the real life of Buddha ends and Tuzaka’s creations begin.
