LEGEND OF KAMUI TP VOL 03

The Legend of Kamui TP Vol 03 continues Shirato Sanpei's legendary sword-and-samurai epic. Kamui, newly trained, begins infiltrating the countryside’s delicate hierarchy to tear it down from within, while Shosuke faces a new assassin drawn into what he may have witnessed. Ryunoshin’s vendetta confounds the chief headman as his lord. Kamui’s fellow outcast Saesa steps into a more prominent role as revolution looms and the sound of clashing swords fills the air. This third volume advances Sanpei’s masterclass in kinetic action, stark political subtext, and panoramic battle scenes, all rendered in bold black-and-white art. Translated from the Japanese by Richard Rubinger with Noriko Rubinger, the work remains a touchstone in manga history, illustrating how personal courage and collective resistance collide on a battlefield of ideals. A must-read for fans of ambitious, character-driven epics.
