The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru Vol. 7
$12.99 +tax
THE LEGEND OF THE OLD MONK A few days after their clash with Daigo Kagemitsu, Dororo and Hyakkimaru continue their dangerous journey across Japan. The demons who stole pieces of Hyakkimaru’s body are still lurking all over the country, and he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim what was taken from him. Yet when they come upon an old temple, and an old monk who is not quite what he seems, the strength of Hyakkimaru’s resolve will be tested like never before.
Series Overview: During Japan’s tumultuous Sengoku period, one man sells his son to a pack of devils in exchange for the power to rule. Forty-eight devils take forty-eight pieces of young Hyakkimaru, and the boy is left for dead. But through the assistance of a sage and a series of inventive prosthetics, Hyakkimaru survives. Together with the young thief Dororo, the now-grown Hyakkimaru embarks upon a quest to slay all the demons and retrieve the stolen pieces of his body. This classic story from Osamu Tezuka–the father of modern manga–is now reimagined in this gorgeous new adaptation by Satoshi Shiki, the artist of the manga Attack on Titan: Before the Fall .
