Golden Kamuy, Vol. 1 (Volume 1)

Great artwork and amazing story. Some mature themes and scenes, especially in some of the later volumes.Volume arrived undamaged.

I own Japanese version and bought English ones for my husband to read. The first 5 volumes are like Pilot version and the story properly starts at volume 6 because this is on a weekly magazine and there was a possibility of canceling the series if it didn’t get popular enough to carry on, so the author was making it so it can be ended in volume 5-6, then the magazine decided to carry on with this series properly so he can start telling the story. So I recommend to read at least up to 6 to decide if you like this series or not, unless you hated it to begin with. It gets even better at volume 8 I would say.

Masterpiece.Flawless Victory.Possibly the best manga or comic ever.The story is centred around the aboriginal inhabitants or 'first peoples' of Japan, the Ainu - who are now sadly largely 'extinct'.It can be described as 'The Good the Bad and The Ugly' meets 'Indiana Jones' (*not the last one). In Hell.

Set in an time period and place I've rarely read about. The author gives a lot of background information which makes it interesting for me. Art is pleasant, main story is pretty engaging, I don't get much from the main characters though.

I've read this once and it's a fast read. It was merely OK. The other reviews maybe based on the entire series, I'm not sure. But based on thus volume I found it didn't really excite or have intrigue. Perhaps after reading some decent reviews I'd over estimated it but I am sitting on the fence about buying volume 2 and haven't ordered yet.......

Immortal

Very funny story & beautifully expressive art.Also an interesting take on semi-fake history.

amazing start
