A review by roxanamalinachirila
Lone Wolf and Cub, Omnibus 1 by Kazuo Koike
4.0
A few years ago, I'd go to the English library in the city and look at all the beautiful comics and manga on the shelves, thinking how one day I'd have the money to pick something random off the shelf and bring it home. (as opposed to agonizing over choices)
My day has come: I half-randomly grabbed the first two volumes of the Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus and took them home with me. Thus far, I'm really not regretting my choice.
The first few stories seem unconnected to each other and you can feel the same pattern underlying nearly every tale in the volume - but, as in the manga tradition, eventually we get to learn more about the main character, see some plots continuing from chapter to chapter, some ideas carrying on. It's beautiful, neatly drawn, catchy - and a nice way to learn more about the shogunate and its politics.
