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.

Long before the Japan of today, there was a land riven by a century of war between hundreds of feudal lords. Standing astride this most chaotic and storied era in Japanese history was a samurai unlike any other--courageous, free-spirited, and peerless on the battlefield, Keiji Maeda had a bombastic style and a penchant for outrageous antics as well as incredible feats of daring. Beloved by his friends, admired by his enemies, and utterly confounding to authority figures, he went out of his way to break every rule but one--his warrior's code. Adapted from a classic historical novel by the iconic artist of Fist of the North Star, there's never been a more thrilling way to experience the golden age of the shogun, samurai, and ninja than this larger-than-life legend of the wildest samurai who ever lived!
