(W/A/CA) Shuzo Oshimi It's been 20 years since his mother told Seiichi that she renounced motherhood, since she thanked him for being a killer, since he tried to strangle her there in the courtroom-and somehow he made it through. Living alone, working the night shift at a bakery, barely speaking to his father, Seiichi's life is solitary and empty, and he likes it that way. But nothing lasts forever?

(W/A/CA) Shuzo Oshimi Having finally found himself free to end it all, Seiichi is pulled back from the brink by a telephone call from the police: 'We have your mother in protective custody.' Facing Seiko for the first time in twenty years, Seiichi finds an old woman who neither recognizes him nor seems to fully recognize herself. And yet, during their strange reunion, her memories return. Seiichi's rage erupts, but he cannot bring himself to strike the woman who plagued his thoughts all these years. And later, the feelings in his heart draw him inexorably back to her side... Thus begins their long, long night together-and Seiichi gets his first glimpse into the true source of the darkness within his mother.

(W/A/CA) Shuzo Oshimi The tale of Seiko's past draws to a close, and Seiichi is left with one central, burning question: 'Why did you 'kill' me?' Once that question has been answered, can some kind of relationship between mother and child be resurrected? The long night is over-now what will the dawn bring?

Toshiko Tomura is a genius; the darling of the intelligentsia. A modern-day Michelangelo, this 20-year-old is already an established international stage actress, an up-and-coming architect, and the next recipient of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize as Japan's best new writer. Toshiko is also the mastermind behind a series of murders. The ultimate mimic, she has plagiarized, blackmailed, stolen and replicated the works of scores of talents. And now as her star is rising within the world of the elites and powerful she has amassed a long list of enemies frustrated by the fact that she has built critical and financial acclaim for nothing more than copying others' work.

Japanese comics godfather Osamu Tezuka tells the story of Buddha's life like it's never been told before. Entertaining, visually spectacular, and warm, Buddha is the ultimate example of Tezuka's storytelling genius and artistic mastery. The progenitor of manga as we know it, and the inspiration for countless artists, Osamu Tezuka continues to elicit the deepest awe with his sweeping grasp of the human condition. This life of Buddha is one that all ages and persuasions can enjoy.

In Volume 2, Siddhartha is born to a fanfare of miracles in the wild. His birthplace, Kapilavastu, forever threatened by the expanding Kosalan empire, recieves providence in his powerful birth, which proves the end of his mother's life.

For Devadatta - the title character in this third volume of the award-winning graphic novel series - life is an endless string of deserved and undeserved pain. Will he be able to love the world when all it gives him are reasons to hate it? Showing Davadetta the sanctity of life will be as heart-warming as it will be difficult.

In the Forest of Uruvela, the Buddha undergoes the ritual trials all ascetics must endure - immersion in thorns, fire, and deadly insects, total isolation and reaching the brink of death, to name a few. Yet the world needs his aid, therefore he must discover the middle path!

Japanese comics pioneer Tezuka's monumental account of the life of the Buddha continues. Little is known about the life of the sixth-century-B.C.E. spiritual leader, so Tezuka devotes much of the narrative to characters he created as well as figures from early Buddhist lore, through them portraying the violent society and cruel caste system that the Buddha challenged. Deer Park opens with a meeting between the fictional swordsman Tatta and the historical Devadatta, both of whose lives would be transformed by the Buddha.

Comics godfather Osamu Tezuka tells the story of Buddha's life in a masterpiece of epic proportions that's executed with religious devotion. In an almost Machiavellian rise to power, Devadatta takes in bandit-warrior Tatta as a protégé, and incites the Magadha kingdom to war with the Kosalan empire. Bimbisara fears being killed by his own son, and the Buddha must lose the friends dearest to him before creating a religion.

Prince Ajantasattu, the headstrong young man, must come to terms with a prediction that he will murder his own father. The prince plans instead to assassinate the Buddha, blaming him for making his father believe the 'bogus' prophecy. Meanwhile, the Buddha's closest disciple, Devadatta, schemes to use politics to surpass the Buddha in importance.

The Buddha travels back to his home in Kapilavastu to summon more followers. He delivers his final sermons in Jetavana, the forest where the Buddha is said to have spent the last several years of his life teacihng. The final sermon is the parable of the self-immolating rabbith, the very first story told in Tezuka's Buddha series!
