Tuotekuvaus
The iconic series that launched the alt-manga bible GARO becomes
available in English for the very first time. At long last, manga titan
Shirato Sanpei's groundbreaking epic makes its way into English.
Celebrated as a watershed of both the Japanese counterculture and
dramatic, longform storytelling in manga, The Legend of Kamui serves up
clashing swords and class struggle to create a timeless political
allegory set in feudal Japan.
This ten-volume series is a
must-have for fans of samurai and ninja manga and anime, and of other
giants of postwar manga like Tezuka Osamu, Mizuki Shigeru, Tsuge
Yoshiharu, and Lone Wolf and Cub's Kojima Goseki. It's the 17th century
in Japan. Child outcast Kamui lives on the fringes of a miserably
stratified society.
Fueled by pure grit, rage, and a dash of
cunning, his only way out is to take up the mantle of ninja. Follow
scrappy peasants, cold-blooded ninja, and disgraced and exalted warriors
as they navigate the unforgiving hardships of a violent yet hopeful
age. With its vivid and critical attention to social injustice and
environmental issues against a backdrop of heart-pounding action and
romance, this multilayered gekiga drama not only redefined ninja and
samurai fantasy, it also offers astonishing parallels with the modern
day.
Originally serialised between 1964 and 1971 in the
legendary alt-manga magazine GARO, The Legend of Kamui is translated by
social historian and decorated academic Richard Rubinger.
