Buddha, Vol. 5

Tezuka's artwork is so expressive — I wonder how much the illustrations deepen the reader's understanding of Buddha's messages and the story's mood.

The depiction of inner peace contrasted with human struggles made me reflect on my own path. How did others interpret the balance between these aspects?

That moment feels pivotal in Buddha's journey, but I'm curious whether Tezuka chose it for its symbolism or for another reason.
