About this book
The Wildest Samurai Who Ever Lived
Tetsuo Hara’s masterful follow-up to the generation-defining Fist of the North Star—a rollicking samurai epic inspired by a real-life legend.
All's Fair in Love and War
After his duel with Kotaro of the Fuma, Keiji finds himself caught between two women—one a childhood friend who has harbored feelings for him all her life, the other the unattainable object of his illicit affection. Will the unfettered life of the kabukimono finally bring Keiji to a tragic end on the point of his best friend’s blade? Or will he live to join the siege of Sado and return to the battlefield, the only place he can fully unleash his outlandish ways? Love or war—in the end, which hold the greater peril...?
