Synopsis

Among the best-known tales in Japanese history, the legend of the 47 Ronin and their years-long epic mission to avenge their disgraced master epitomizes the samurai code of honor. Their story is often referred to as Japan’s national legend. Retold through the ages, the legend at last comes to comics in a meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated miniseries from Mike Richardson, Stan Sakai, and editorial consultant Kazuo Koike! Recounting this sweeping tale of honor and violence in all its grandeur, chapter one details the tragic incident that would seal the fate of Lord Asano and set forty-seven of his vassals on a years-long path of vengeance!
