Overview

A dark samurai murder mystery brought to life in graphic novel form for the first time!

A sword-swinging samurai, a corpse-robbing crone and a falsely accused trans man stand at the center of these four classic tales, which unfold panel by panel in exciting manga adaptations. The stories in this volume are:

  • Rashomon: A houseless servant pits morality against survival in a post-apocalyptic world where thievery and the desecration of the dead are necessary for one's survival
  • In the Bamboo Grove: Conflicting statements and competing narratives call into question the notion of objective truth in a searing tale of rape and revenge
  • Otomi's Virginity: Pride, honor and dignity are at stake when a young servant is confronted by an unexpected aggressor at her employer's abandoned house
  • The Martyr: A pious Jesuit with a dark secret faces excommunication and death in 16th-century Japan, when Christianity was introduced and then forbidden by order of the Shogun

Stunning graphic adaptations by Marc Livache and Philippe Nicloux turn these iconic tales into thrilling page-turners, following in the footsteps of the famous Kurosawa film.
