■First Edition Limited Edition Special Edition

●"Buddha" is a masterpiece by the master Tezuka Osamu, on a par with "Phoenix" and "B.J.", and an immortal milestone in the history of Japanese manga. Responding to passionate fan demand, this incredibly rare "original version" has finally been published in its entirety for the first time!

While this work is one of the most notable among Tezuka's many works, due to the large number of pages not included in the original and the large number of redrawn sections, the "original version" has been unavailable for over 40 years since its magazine serialization due to the low survival rate of the original. Packed with never-before-seen classic scenes, "Another Buddha" truly is a "phantom giant continent." Now, its full story is finally unveiled!

● This epic, epic work, depicts the life of Siddhartha (Buddha), the founder of Buddhism, from before his birth to his final years, blending love, struggle, and the mysteries of life with epic scale and vivid imagination. It was published in the monthly magazine "Friends of Hope" over a 12-year period from 1972 to 1983. A massive bestseller with over 20 million copies sold, this work has not only garnered acclaim in Japan but also won the Eisner Award for Best International Work, America's most prestigious manga award, in 2004 and 2005. Its dramatic appeal, human emotion, and high level of entertainment value are unique to Tezuka Osamu. The blockbuster animated film, "BUDDHA: Tezuka Osamu's Buddha - The Endless Journey," will be released nationwide on Saturday, February 8, 2014. A new Buddha boom is upon us.
