Abstract	This paper explores Osamu Tezuka’s artistic style, highlighting how his humanistic and moral values are deeply woven into his manga series. It delves into the use of comic elements as a means to navigate sensitive societal and cultural themes with nuance and accessibility with respect to Buddha manga series (originally published 1972-83). Additionally, the paper examines the significance of imaginative literature and its independent creative space, emphasizing the uniquely human role of language and communication. By analyzing the interplay between sound and visual storytelling, it illustrates how this synergy shapes narrative impact. Drawing from examples in Tezuka’s Buddha, the study also reflects on the constant interaction and communication within the broader ecosystem.
