Manga: Berserk
Epic narrative which involve kingdoms, warriors and divinity elements. Both are tragic and sad stories. Most of the characters have been suffered a lot.

Manga: Hi no Tori (1967)
Each is a masterpiece by the god of manga, Osamu Tezuka. Well paced multi-layered stories that are interesting, addicting, thought-provoking, and so very enjoyable to read. Each character is wonderfully developed and has emotional depth. Everyone should experience these two incredible classics.

Manga: JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run
An epic tale setted in the real world but in the past. The story is focused in the self-development of the MC. In both series divinity and supernatural elements are very important.

Manga: Hunter x Hunter
There you have two EPIC stories about a journey of iniation. Those manga share very interesting themes such as suffering, death, the acquisition of maturity, vengeance, friendship, life's value, nature,... Both manga aren't exclusively focus on there main characters adventures. Buddha contains less action and more philosophical reflexions. Both authors impressed me with hardly predictable plot lines at frequent instants. Yoshihiro Togashi was without a doubt inspired by Buddhist beliefs when writing his manga, therefore I find my recommandation relevant.

Manga: Kiseijuu
Well, this is probably because I finished Kiseijuu when I was also reading Buddha that I think they were resembling some similar things, but one thing I'm sure is that they have this one particular similarity. Kiseijuu talked about the life of living beings; not only humans, but all living beings, including animals and those parasytes. Buddha had this as one of its main theme. The equality of all living beings, and that they were originated from one same thing, only taking a different form.

Manga: Vinland Saga
While Vinland Saga takes longer time to establish it's ultimate themes and morals it is not too unlike Buddha. Both main characters live to see great deal of war and destruction and how it effects the world around them and develop their own philosophy of pacifism to either change the world for the better or to save victims who have lost their place in the merciless world.

Manga: Historie
Both Historie and Buddha are about the lives of an exceptional man that actually lived at some point in history. Neither series tries to make things forcibly interesting by adding weird things that clearly don't belong (like mechs and light sabers) and are interesting just by telling the story of that person.

Manga: Mushishi
Both deal with the interconnectedness of all living things, a central tenant of some Eastern thought. Mushi are organisms of the purest form of life that only a few can see; their only purpose is survival, which generally causes great harm to humans (i.e., parasitic relationships or environmental damage). Rather than opting to kill the indifferent Mushi creatures, Ginko, the protagonisti, seeks to only divert their harm away from humans. He understands that Mushi are living organisms without malicious intent and encourages compassionate understanding many times throughout the anime. Moreover, Siddhartha's central message in Tezuka's masterpiece is also very similar. He encourages his followers to  read more

Manga: Monster
Intricate multi-layered stories that beautifully portray human emotion and ambition.

Manga: Adolf ni Tsugu
These are written by Osamu Tezuka and contain his trademark art and storytelling style. Both their stories are based on some historical background, and their narratives intertwine multiple plot lines together. Buddha can be considered a more elaborate version of Adolf that is greater in scope and thematic exploration.
