Tezuka Osamu no Buddha - Akai Sabaku yo! Utsukushiku - [Priced-down Reissue]

[Machine Translation] [The 25th installment of the "Toei's classic" series (the 2nd installment in commemoration of Toei's 70th anniversary)] Master artist Osamu Tezuka spent 10 years to complete his masterpiece, the best-selling comic of the 20th century with 20 million copies in circulation, and now it has been made into a movie! --2500 years ago, in India. In India, 2500 years ago, in a land of constant strife between kingdoms, a boy is born who is prophesied to become the king of the world. He is Gautama Siddhartha, prince of Shaka. As an adolescent, Siddhartha comes to know the people of low status, including Migella, a young bandit girl, and begins to have doubts about the harsh class society. Soon after, the powerful Kosala State invades Shaka and a fierce war breaks out. The Kosala nation's army is led by Chapra, the son of a general and the bravest man in the country. Chapra hid his slave birth and rose to power by saving the general's life. Chapra struggles to rise from the lowest ranks, while Siddhartha seeks the path he must follow, forsaking family, status, wealth, and everything else. Two opposite souls intersect on the battlefield, and their destinies are about to change. Why do we live, why must we suffer?
