The Magnificent Bastard

The wildest samurai who ever lived: Tetsuo Hara's masterful follow-up to the generation-defining Fist of the North Star – a gripping samurai epic inspired by a real legend.

Long before modern-day Japan, a land lay in the grip of a century of wars between countless feudal lords. Amid this most chaotic and famous era of Japanese history stood a samurai like no other: brave, freedom-loving, and unmatched on the battlefield. Keiji Maeda was known for his bombastic style, daring deeds, and uproarious escapades. Loved by his friends, admired by his enemies, and a riddle to the authorities, he gladly broke every rule – except one: his warrior's code.

Adapted from a classic historical novel by the iconic artist of Fist of the North Star, this larger-than-life legend offers the most gripping look at the golden age of shogun, samurai, and ninja.
