Title: Compelling but lacking
Review: Leave it to Tezuka to write an exciting story. The characters are unpredictable and it's clear from the start that Tezuka won't shrink from making them suffer or hurt others. The story isn't completely pessimistic, though. Medieval cruelty is mixed with compassion and sublime visions. The most impressive part is when a character enters the (Buddhist?) cycle of eternal rebirth: a genuine gem, spanning only a dozen pages. This brings us to Karma's weakness. Since I've read several Tezuka's stories about the illegal surgeon Black Jack, I can say Tezuka is at his best when creating short manga. Despite many excellent episodes, Karma feels loose and lacks the pace of his best works. Don't be put off, though. It's still up there in the top five percent of all manga.
