Manga

I was a pretty avid reader of manga when I was younger. The difference in Eastern and Western comics is really intriguing to me. Now however, I'm not that big of a fan. A lot of it just seems way too over the top, and honestly a little obnoxious. For this week, I read Buddha by Osamu Tezuka. It was refreshing and not what I had expected at all. It was the retelling of Buddha's life. Even though the subject matter was interesting and different, the fact that there was no colors kind of bothered me. Tezuka used black and white throughout. I don't feel like it was a great way to show the deep content.
