Description
The Legend of Kamui, a groundbreaking epic by manga titan Shirato Sanpei, is now available in English for the first time. This 10-volume series is a landmark of dramatic storytelling in manga, set against the backdrop of feudal Japan.
Follow Kamui, a child outcast living on the fringes of a stratified society, as he takes up the mantle of ninja to escape his circumstances. With a mix of grit, rage, and cunning, he navigates a violent yet hopeful age, surrounded by scrappy peasants, cold-blooded ninja, and disgraced warriors.
This multilayered gekiga drama offers a vivid and critical exploration of social injustice and environmental issues, set against a heart-pounding narrative of action and romance. Originally serialized between 1964 and 1971, The Legend of Kamui is translated by Richard Rubinger and Noriko Rubinger, and is a must-have for fans of samurai and ninja manga and anime.
