Celebrated as a watershed of both the Japanese counterculture and dramatic, longform storytelling in manga, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Legend of Kamui\u003c\/span\u003e 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 \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eLone Wolf \u003c\/span\u003eand Cub’s Kojima Goseki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally serialized between 1964 and 1971 in the legendary alt-manga magazine GARO, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Legend of Kamui\u003c\/span\u003e is translated by social historian and decorated academic Richard Rubinger with Noriko Rubinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52920528208201,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/8035\/5913\/files\/The-Legend-of-Kamui-tp.jpg?v=1757510083","url":"https:\/\/www.cosmicrealms.gr\/products\/the-legend-of-kamui-book-one-tp","provider":"Cosmic Realms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
