Buddha

(from ebookjapan):

Some 3,500 years ago, the Arians living on the banks of the Indus River had established a caste system with Brahmins at the top. Shortly before the birth of Siddhartha, the hero of this story, Chapra, who was born a slave, became his adopted son after helping a general of the Kosala kingdom. 

He then hid his origins and sought the position of power, but Chapra, too, could not escape the curse of the status system... 

Here begins the epic story of the Buddha's life and the times in which he lived!

The complete biography of Buddha, as seen by Osamu Tezuka.

Black Jack

Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' lives (as long as they have the money for it), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.  

Out of a total of 243 chapters chapter 113.5: 'U-18 Knew' was released in a Weekly Shonen Champion special issue and thos it's unnumbered. Also, 11 chapters were not included in the Vertical English release, out of those 11 chapters: 3 were exclusively Included in the hardcover editions of volumes 1-3, and 5 of them are labeled as [Sealed](http://tezukainenglish.com/wp/?page_id=573) meaning they have been excluded from almost every collected release because they were controversial or Osamu wasn't happy with them.

For the Hero, Leo Demonhart, saving the world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After he vanquishes Demon Queen Echidna, the “grateful” people would rather give him the stink eye than show any respect. Now he’s come to Echidna’s castle with résumé in hand, but his old foe isn’t exactly fond of the guy who trounced her forces. It’s up to Leo to use every trick he knows and get in her good (evil?) graces—a cushy gig as a minion of darkness is on the line!

MangaZombie:  
  
"When I talk about ‘warped manga from a warped mind’, I always think of this incoherent story.   
  
The Human Clock is a lot simpler to summarize than to understand. The hero is Yubi Chizuo again; he’s a student like before, but this time round he’s also a dropout. He stays in his house, which is a family shop selling watches and clocks. He gazes and gazes at them, and little by little, turns into one himself. That is the entire story. It reminds me of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis."

Animals toil and suffer on Manor Farm, owned by the cruel and careless Mr. Jones. One night, Old Major, an elder pig on the farm, has a fantastic dream one night, of which he informs all the other animals; one where animals overthrow the human race, and the fruits of their labor are made theirs to keep. Though he dies not long after, the animals are emboldened with his vivid visions of a potential future - and one day, through a fierce uprising, they take ownership of the farm from Mr. Jones.

Manor Farm - now renamed Animal Farm - maintains itself under an ideology known as Animalism, built upon Old Major's dream and stances regarding humans. However, tension is high, and different parties have their own intentions about the fate of Animal Farm...
