About the series
In a sci-fi Edo-era Japan where samurai have been outlawed and aliens rule, Gin Tama follows the odd-job adventures of Gintoki Sakata, a lazy silver-haired swordsman who runs a business called "Yorozuya" with his friends. Published by Viz from 2007 to 2011, this 23-issue series blends slapstick comedy, action, and heartfelt drama, all masterfully crafted by creator Hideaki Sorachi. It stands as a beloved gateway to manga for many English readers, capturing the chaotic charm of its original Japanese run.
