Set in feudal Japan, this classic series serves up historical fact, social commentary, ninja lore, and graphic violence, making it irresistible for fans of the popular Lone Wolf & Cub. It's the saga of Kamui, who becomes a ninja to escape the oppressed peasant class but turns outlaw when he tries to leave his ninja clan. Hunted by assassins, he finds a temporary safe haven when he's shipwrecked on a remote island.

Renegade ninjas,
By Sibelius (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legend of Kamui: Perfect Collection, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Sanpei Shirato's, "Legend of Kamui" series is a highly entertaining and exciting look into the world of ninjas and feudal Japan. This first volume clocks in at 260+ pages, and although the story and visuals flow at a rapid pace readers will find great delight in the superb artwork and stunning attention to detail that is packed into every panel.While vol. 1 is basically the tale of ex-ninjas on the run (as they are being hunted down by their former clans), Sanpei Shirato finds time to inject occassional bits of humor and melodrama which ultimately gives this action packed series warmth and emotion. Also of interest are footnotes explaining the Japanese names of various ninjitsu fighting techniques being used in the battle scenes.

Battles and emotions,
By Günther Hofmann (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legend of Kamui: Perfect Collection, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
The Legend of Kamui is one of the rare Mangas that deal with fighting and battles without forgetting to tell a good story. Sanpei Shirato knows how to draw and to entertain. Certainly a Manga to start with.
