Buddha, Vol. 5: Deer Park

In the fifth installment of manga-godfather Osamu Tezuka's Buddha, engagement with death imparts the lesson of life's sancity. In a Machiavellian rise to power, Devadatta — a rogue aristrocrat — incites a war between two kingdoms that will leave thousands dead. King Bimbisara of Magadha, fearing death at the hands of his own son, withdraws fatherly love. The true measure of the Buddha's divinity will turn out to be a test of diplomacy — the power of words.
