About the series
In Issak (2018–present), the Japanese publisher Ki-oon presents a historical drama set during the Thirty Years’ War, following a stoic Japanese samurai stranded in a war-torn Europe. Written and illustrated by Shinji Makari, the series has run for 18 issues, blending meticulous period detail with a lone warrior’s quest for purpose amid the chaos of religious conflict. Its fusion of samurai ethos and European history offers a fresh, cross-cultural perspective that distinguishes it from typical manga.
