The Magnificent Bastard

The wildest samurai who ever lived: a gripping samurai epic by Tetsuo Hara, the legendary artist behind Fist of the North Star – inspired by a real-life legend.

Long before present-day Japan, a century of wars raged between countless lords. In the midst of this chaotic and glorious era stood a samurai like no other: Keiji Maeda – brave, freedom-loving, and unmatched on the battlefield. With bombastic style, daring deeds, and a taste for flamboyant escapades, he broke every rule – except one: his Code of the Warrior. Loved by friends, respected by enemies, and a thorn in the side of every authority, Keiji embodies the larger-than-life myth of the samurai.
