Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru #1

This debut volume of Masashi Kishimoto's sci-fi samurai epic introduces Hachimaru, a bedridden boy who dreams of becoming a samurai despite his frail body. When a mysterious cat-like being and a robotic samurai enter his life, Hachimaru's destiny is forever changed as he embarks on a quest for the legendary 'First Key' that could unlock his true potential. Collecting the first chapters of the series, this volume sets the stage for a blend of feudal Japanese aesthetics and futuristic technology, featuring Kishimoto's signature action and world-building from his post-Naruto work.
