As he gains the skills and intelligence necessary to forge a pathforward, he also becomes all too aware that there can, and must, be a better way.
WillIkkaku become a prisoner of his own quest for revenge? Will Shosuke find salvation inleading peers out of destitution? The White Wolf, too, resurfaces and begins to lead a lifeapart from other wolves until he meets the great One-Eyed Lone Wolf. Will he be acceptedor will he be killed, hunted down for his rare pelt?

Only time will tell.There is no rest for the wicked, and sinister forces only work against the little guy.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Shirato Sanpei was born in Tokyo in 1932. His father, Okamoto Tōki, was an oil painter whose artistic endeavors exposed the young Shirato to a variety of perspectives. Okamoto notably instructed Kurosawa Akira in painting and design before the latter became a filmmaker. After a seven-year stint as a kamishibai artist, Shirato would begin working in the kashihon manga market in 1957. Kaze no Fujimaru, an animated series based on an original story by Shirato, began to be broadcast in 1964. This was the first animation for which the young Miyazaki Hayao was in charge of original drawings. The Legend of Kamui debuted that same year in the pages of Garo--a manga periodical founded by Shirato--and now best known as a launching pad for other revered manga talents like Mizuki Shigeru and Tsuge Yoshiharu. Shirato died in 2021.
