    A few too many short cuts, But I am still interested
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017*

Bottom Line First Osamu’s Tezuka’s Buddha (book 2), THE Four Encounters, Paperback editionOn the chance you are coming to these 8 book series via book two, this is not a religious teaching text. This is a lax graphic novelization of a history. So far not much on the religion of the young Prince Siddhartha, the man who will with enlightenment become Buddha, founder of Buddhism. The introduction of highly anachronistic terms is more noticeable and less excusable than was present in book one. Overall I found the story less compelling and with the introduction of only a few new characters, the remaining older characters were not handled in such a way as to create more interest. The major new character is the Prince and there is much about him to capture the reader’s imagination. Recommendation, Book 2 has all the artwork that made w Book 1 beautiful. Book I was the better of the two books and on that basis and for the reader wanting the continuity of storyline I am recommending this installment. I will be getting book 3 and hope that this one is the bridge to better things.At the end of Book one I had been deeply effected by the ending and very interested in the future story line. In short, eager for book 2. The Four Encounters Delivered as a work of visual art. Country scenes are beautiful and the level of detail in the over-all artistry is more than value for the cost. Tezuka is considered an originator of Magna. However many the other claimants; Tezuka and his team are artists. Given casual nudity and innumerable perky ice cream scoop breasted the women, there is little here that is aimed to prurient interests or even mildly erotic.The amount of violence remains high even if human costs are on a different scale. No mass deaths by locusts, but famine and individual deaths and suffering continue. Historically and thematically appropriate. For example, few too many dear are killed.My personal bottom line is that Book 1 left me caring about these people. My overall letdown with book 2 will not keep me from reading book 3.

    Buddha , Volume 2 ( manga by Osamu Tezuka )
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022*

I found this ebook a fascinatingly entertaining read. As following the first volume this 2nd of the set is  illustrated in the Japanese style of deep emotional expression ofplot and characters It is the often  humourously depicted history of Siddhartha the Buddha from his early years of life. I eagerlylook forward to the next volume to follow.
