新・子連れ狼 [Shin Kozure Ōkami]

In the mid-2000s, Hideki Mori revived the legendary Lone Wolf and Cub saga for Shogakukan with Shin Kozure Ōkami, a compact 11-issue series that reimagined the iconic ronin and his young son. Mori’s meticulous, brush-stroked art honors the grit and pathos of the original while bringing a modern clarity to the Edo-era tale of vengeance and survival. This series stands as a respectful, self-contained update to one of manga’s most influential classics, proving the enduring power of its core story.
