Kamui Den is "The Legend Of Kamui"


How many comics, movies, and novels have you read?
How wide a range of genres were they?

If you can answer those two questions with confidence, this may be the best manga for you.
If the best manga for you is One Piece or Naruto, it may be the worst manga.
Or, if the best manga for you is Parasite or Berserk, there is a small chance that you might find it interesting.

... There are no obvious heroes or villains in this manga, and there is no catharsis.
There is only a cruel reality and a cold-hearted look at human beings.

Cruel reality, in this manga, is real.
The peasants are exploited by their lords.
The peasants' antipathy and will to rebel against their lords is resolved by the discrimination against the discriminated people prepared by the lords.
The discriminated people discriminate against the lower class of the discriminated people.
Any ninja who stands up for the discriminated people is immediately executed.
A merchant gains success, but soon loses it through the schemes of another merchant with greater power.
Besides, the authority that makes a lord a lord is false.

Samurai kill each other from start to finish. But samurai killing each other is only a flavor of this manga.
The main depiction in this manga is the ugliness and stupidity of human beings, and that ugliness and stupidity are the very flaws you don't want to see, yours and our own.

If you can read this manga and find it interesting, it's only because you are nerds who have read tons of manga that are only interesting and are tired of manga that are just plain interesting.
