Description

Kapilavastu (Buddha, Book 1) is the first volume of Buddha, the manga or graphic novel, by the father of Japanese mangas, Osamu Tezuka. Buddha is about the life and times of Gautama Buddha and how he came to be worshipped by many. It is a unique depiction of how Siddhartha Gautama, the young prince, broke away from the brutality of the caste system prevalent in ancient Nepal and embarked on a journey to find enlightenment. Book1, Kapilavastu, is about Chapra, who shunned the caste system and wanted to make a better life for himself. Tezuka's rendition of Buddha's life is unconventional and it has every aspect of a true manga. The characters have been drawn like usual manga characters and beautifully rendered images and sharp detailing adds to the essence of the tale. Chapra, the main character, wants to become a nobleman. Along with him is Tatta, who has an uncanny ability to communicate with animals. Naradatta is another character in the manga, who wants to uncover the omens that might be linked to Buddha's birth.
