    <body><![CDATA[Great telling of the story of Buddha by legendary illustrator Osamu Tezuka. Awesome, classic style, with a sort of moderm twist on language. (i.e. &quot;What the heck do you think you're doing!??!&quot; or &quot;This sucks!&quot; :)<br/><br/>Love the style, and this book is just as good as the fir...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8973469">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The second volume of Osamu Tezuka's Buddha series focuses on Siddharta's beginnings as a young prince of a small country in Hindustan.  The book starts with the young and somewhat delicate prince and ends when he departs the castle.<br/><br/>The classic drawings of Tezuka are wonderful to look at, a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23449196">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[More postmodern manga shenanigans (manganigans?) from Tezuka.  In this volume, the boy Siddhartha renounces his royal heritage.  The fictional characters still intersect with him.
