Kamui #2

Sanpei Shirato's cover for this 1995 Carlsen Comics edition sets the tone immediately: a fierce young warrior leaps through a blazing amber light, staff in hand, while a fallen opponent reaches upward from below — the German tagline "Versagen heißt Sterben" ("Failure Means Death") leaving little doubt about the stakes. The second volume in this German-language manga series continues with "Fünftes Kapitel: Eine Muschel aus Sonne und Mond," promising the kind of relentless, high-tension ninja drama Shirato built his reputation on. A striking package for fans of classic samurai manga brought to European readers in style.
