I too have had a stumbling block with Tezuka and feel slightly ashamed for not "getting it". I couldn't really get through the first volume of Astro Boy and I didn't enjoy Metropolis. But someone lent me Buddha, and while I had that knee-jerk reaction to some of the occasional Disney characters, as you say, I found that I really enjoyed Buddha overall and whipped through two volumes in no time. I hope to acquire and enjoy the rest! I'll read your Kirihito review. Take care, Jonathan I agree, Johanna.
