Golden Kamuy

Set in early 20th-century Hokkaido after the Russo-Japanese War, Golden Kamuy follows a scarred veteran and an Ainu girl as they race to find a hidden fortune of Ainu gold, a treasure marked on the skins of escaped convicts. Created and drawn by Satoru Noda for Weekly Young Jump, this 31-volume series from Viz Media is a gritty historical epic that weaves survival, folklore, and culinary detail into a sprawling treasure-hunt thriller. Its vivid portrayal of Ainu culture and Hokkaido's wilderness makes it a standout in modern adventure manga.
