Hey. Dumping Dark Horse's Lone Wolf.
>In the feudal era of Japan, Ogami Itto is the elite executioner for the Shogun until the ruthless Yagyu clan frames him in an attempt to gain the position. His name dishonored and his wife murdered, Itto and his infant son Daigoro wander Japan as an assassin for hire, named Lone Wolf and Cub. Ultimately, Ogami Itto strives for revenge against the Yagyu clan.
Those scans look beautiful. I'll add it to my backlog.

this particular cover looks like it was done by Frank Miller
I've recently been reading this and it's really good. I'm kind of butt blasted that Dark Horse is still flipping manga, they're doing it with their Blade of the Immortal omnibus too. It's fucking 2017 they need to cut that shit out. Sorry but I needed to get that off my chest.
>>160863940
how many vols do you guys have of NEW lone wolf and cub? I got 8 from /co/
its not as good because interesting characters keep getting killed by knock off dad figure for daigo.

That's because it is. Frank Miller and a few other American comic artists did covers for the old floppy comic releases which then went on to become covers for the various Dark Horse collected editions.

Isn't this lewd?
One of the most disappointing endings to a great manga ever.
10 years later I'm still buttblasted.

Endings are always a challenge.

Certain chapters are masterpiece and make it 100% worth it. I remember there were some rage quit worthy out of place chapters as well. In the end, it's unrealistic goofy oldtime manga with goofy ending so it fits.

This, LW&C is in the top 5 manga of all time. It was a lot more influential then I first realised as well.
The artwork in particular in incredible.
I wish someone would translate the rest of Koike and Ikegami's manga, having just the raws kills me
