Satsuma Gishiden TPB Volume 02 (Aug060058)

"Japan's samurai past is riddled with stories of great fighting prowess and deeply ingrained systems of honor and discipline. But behind the stern demeanor was a society coming apart at the seams. Clashes in class systems and the need for a nation to come together threaten to break up the old ways of warring samurai-these are tales of such struggles. This is the story of Japan's history, and the beginning of the end of the samurai era. • Until the release of Lone Wolf & Cub in Europe, Satsuma Gishiden was the highest-selling samurai manga of all time in Europe. • Each volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory."
