It seems a beautiful story. <br /><br />Buddha...the manga? LoL...how awesome is that, I love manga! I'll definitely read these as well. I saw his "Phoenix" in anime (never read the manga) and it was decent (being fair, it was a bit dated in the style...I can't remember when he'd written it...but, illustration has grown leaps and bounds even in the last decade, so was expected since it was based on his illustrations.) Anyway, ...I look forward to this one.<br /><br />Also, thank you for the link; I never would have found it otherwise. *curtsies*エイプリルhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625744963850929970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825302477306839823.post-60503002320440367682011-05-21T07:32:50.759-07:002011-05-21T07:32:50.759-07:00Currently my two favorites are

It's kinda like, I already knew where it was going, ya know? I liked your review on them though; I may give them another go.<br /><br />Buddhist, huh? Do you read any of the masses of literature? I ask, because I've only read the Dalai Lama and lots of Thich Nhat Hanh....and maybe you have a fave book to suggest, from someone else? I'm southern Baptist, by the way, so except for the whole "be good little boys and girls" ideal, it's a lot different from Buddhism. Still, I like to read on other practices and beliefs. *shrug*エイプリルhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625744963850929970noreply@blogger.com
