Welcome to Litsy!

I missed Day 2 of #7days7books because Litsy got grumpy with me last night, but here it is now! Osamu Tezuka‘s fictionalized biography of the Buddha was a real game changer for me back in 2006.

♡♧♡♧ A lovely way to end the day ♡♧♡♧

This series is just incredible. Osamu Tezuka is considered the "godfather" of manga but really should be essential to all literary circles as a master of pacing, restraint and poise. Buddha's journey is packed full of significant moments but the playfulness and humor expertly woven in elevates it to be memorable, impactful. Tezuka knows when to let moments breathe and when to inject life. Dedicate a weekend to this series, its worth it ?10/10

Proof that if you turn any subject into a graphic novel, I'll probably read it 🤓 the illustrations convey so much instantaneously and help drive the subject matter forward + it's hilarious. I had no clue about Buddha's origin but now I'm becoming obsessed / sign of a good story 🎉

These are simply amazing. The story of Buddha told by one of anime's best artists. Love these!

Fantastic book to start the Buddha Series from the godfather of Anime, Osamu Tezuka. These books are very informative, I actually learned a lot about India during that time as well, as stories of kings, princes, and kingdoms weave together. My favorite book series as of late!
