Golden Kamuy

In the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War, Golden Kamuy follows Saichi Sugimoto, a grizzled veteran, and Asirpa, an Ainu girl, as they hunt for a hidden cache of gold in early 20th-century Hokkaido. This Milky Way Ediciones series, written and drawn by Satoru Noda, blends historical adventure with Ainu culture and survivalist thrills across its 31-issue run. Its unflinching portrayal of a forgotten frontier and its complex, morally grey cast have made it a standout in modern seinen manga.
