Golden Kamuy, Vol. 4 (4)

Great series and we will definitely be getting more of them. My kids devoured them!

I decided to pre-order because it was lower than the retail price, and it got to me the day that it was scheduled to come out. It’s a very good series and I’m excited for the anime in April! Highly recommended.

The dynamic between the characters is incredible, the in between side stories when Asirpa is teaching about her culture. Can't wait for more.

Fast shipping and great condition

This manga series has been a case of diminishing returns for me over the first three books, and having just finished this fourth, I don't think I'll be reading any more. This one opens with Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto and escape artist Shirashi in a fight with another ex-army guy and a legendary bear hunter for reasons that escape me. The hunter's agenda to kill the Ainu girl's wolf buddy is then revealed, leading to more bloodshed. The story then shifts to the creepy masked dude who is seeking the missing Ainu gold in order to forge a new nation, and then there's the gangster whose agenda I've lost track of, and then a new character is introduced -- he's just a regular serial killer. As the story goes on, it just keeps getting more convoluted as it introduces and does away with character after character. Much as I enjoy the historical setting and details about Ainu culture and oddball bits of humor, the rhythms of the storytelling don't work for me. I think it's been turned into an anime show, so I might try it in that format and see if it works better for me.

Golden Kamuy is at its best when it focuses on Asirpa and Sugimoto's travels. There were a lot of quiet tracking and eating scenes in this book, which I always really enjoy because it allows the cast to play off each other in interesting ways and teaches us interesting facts about the local customs and wildlife at the same time.This volume still does plenty to push the plot forward, however. These chapters do a good job of building up their rivals in the hunt for the gold and gives us more of an understanding of their motivations.The art is beautiful as always. The drawings of the animals and wilderness are especially impressive, and Noda is brilliant at drawing expressive faces.

...or should that be East?!?If you are a fan of Quentin Tarantino style stories and offbeat characters, or Sam Peckinpah Westerns, then there is a lot to love in Golden Kamuy.A brilliant unfolding storyline set during the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese war, with a wonderful insight into the culture and lifestyles of some Japan's native "Ainu" people.The art work is detailed and with brilliant expression work in the characters and the narrative never drags.Highly recommended for fans of manga, comics or just great story telling.

As the heading says: Worth buying!Great story

No puc opinar pel contingut, ja que eren pel meu fill. Però l'enviament va estar perfecte.

De lo mejor que he leido ultimamente. Las ediciones de Viz son geniales, vale la pena la espera por cada volumen.
