The story is fast-paced and exciting, the setting interesting. I liked the historical/"how to survive in the wilderness" details. This manga is too violent for my taste, however. It is also a bad sign when you like the way landscapes, animals, etc are drawn much more than the main characters. It was an interesting effect that I can't explain, I could hardly look at the characters and their facial expressions without a shudder. I very much doubt that I will continue this manga series...

Fantastic manga. Beautiful art, interesting story. Highly recommend. It is violently graphic fyi. ( )

What an odd book! Set in Hokkaido immediately following the Russo-Japanese war, the tone is reminiscent of an American Western, specifically The Outlaw Josey Wales. A war veteran seeking gold teams up with a native Ainu girl seeking vengeance. And a wolf shows up in a small supporting role, which I always appreciate. I enjoyed the fact that as much or more time is spent on small game trapping and fighting a rogue bear as on the main story of seeking a group of tattooed men one by one. The weakest link in this intriguing set-up is the protagonist, whose personality is a bit of a muddle. Still, I'll certainly come back for more of this wacky action series. ( )
