He originally intended to become a doctor and earned his degree before turning to what was then a medium for children. His many early masterpieces include the series known in the U.S. as \u003ci\u003eAstro Boy\u003c\/i\u003e. With his sweeping vision, deftly intertwined plots, feel for the workings of power, and indefatigable commitment to human dignity, Tezuka elevated manga to an art form. The later Tezuka, when he authored \u003ci\u003eBuddha\u003c\/i\u003e, often had in mind the mature readership that manga gained in the sixties and that had only grown ever since. The Kurosawa of Japanese pop culture, Osamu Tezuka is a twentieth century classic.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Osamu Tezuka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42888315830335,"sku":"9781932234596","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/0710\/5855\/files\/9781932234596.jpg?v=1770409911","url":"https:\/\/casitamanga.com\/products\/buddha-4-the-forest-of-uruvela-9781932234596","provider":"Casita Manga","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
