Have you you ever wanted to read a comic about Jesus, the Buddha and their incredible vacation to Japan? Not really. It's not that important to read, but you should know that it exists, because the novelty of such a series in just an astounding concept. Besides the novelty, it's boring. If you've read as many manga series as I have, you begin to realize that a lot of them are the same....and tons of jokes in manga are actually puns that only work in the Japanese languages. I don't know Japanese...so I don't get many of the jokes. Neither will you...that is if you have the same mastery of the Japanese language that I do.

| The Buddha is a really great series and you need to read it |
But besides that it has tons of pop culture references, from other Japanese comics (such as Tezuka's masterpiece, Buddha), western celebration, and the length of a certain Disney character's skirt. The last actually is central to the plot of a chapter.
