Not that it needed a huge plot advance, we get it anyway, scurrying past those difficult few years of getting oneself physically and mentally ready to take on a global dictatorship while living among the homeless and dressing like a bunny. Oh yeah, and I like Shogun/O a lot, too. You can tell Kenji and he are best buds. Now if only they weren't so completely out of their league, I might feel like they'd have a chance. At least we didn't get a montage. We're just thrown into the future. Believe it or not, I'm fine with it. This is definitely a smart manga for adults. I wouldn't say it's classy though. I will say it has a fantastic build. I wonder what Stephen King would have done with it had he written a whopper based on this. Seriously, it's almost like a good early SK epic, (but nothing like DT). no reviews | add a review

One of the people that get the call is ronin-like wanderer in Thailand under the simple pseudonym of Shogun. Lone justice warrior finds himself fighting against the local gangs when he gets the call. Call he must respond to.
Art is always excellent.
Highly recommended. ( )
