About Buddha 2: The Endless Journey

If you are hunting for a new supernatural series, Buddha 2: The Endless Journey (Tezuka Osamu no Buddha: Owarinaki Tabi) deserves a look (2014). The setup goes like this. The setup: 2500 years ago, in India, Siddhartha was born as a prince of the Shakya clan, but he gives up his position as a prince to see the world. While he travels he runs into a peculiar boy named Assaji, who can predict the future and a monk with only one eye.

Beyond that: Overwhelmed by the sufferings he witnesses around him, Siddhartha strives to restore peace. Meanwhile, Prince Ruri of Kosara kicks off his attack on the Shakya clan.

As a supernatural title, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. Think of it as a pick for fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.
