This volume is almost entirely comprised of pain and misery. The two main story arcs are Tatta becoming a warrior to fight the giant, Yatala, to settle the dispute between Magadha & Kosala (which just can't end well), and the story of Buddha's time in Deer Park, where he runs into Dhepa with a group of monks also undergoing ordeals (this can't end well, either.)

Story is still amazing, art is still fantastic, this segment of the plot is a little painful, can't wait for the next one!

Animals, how beautifully they emote.
If only we had the patience and love.
