Description

Samuel L. Jackson (the voice of Afro in the anime) says: "Gotta figure out a way to get this on the Big Screen!!! My Man Takashi Okazaki did his thang with this one!" A manga classic that is essential reading for all fans of the medium and afro-Japanese-futurism. This is the ultimate boxed set that collects both volumes of the director's cut editions, and also includes two exclusive illustrated art cards! Japan has become a land of warriors, warlords and assassins, where the technology of the future exits alongside the brutal traditions of the past. This world is ruled by whoever possesses the legendary No.1 headband. When the boy Afro Samurai's father, Rokutaro, is challenged as No.1 and killed by the No.2, a lethal outlaw known as Justice, he swears revenge, starting on a bloody path of retribution that will make him the No.2 warrior and allow him to challenge Justice. Volume 1: In the first of two volumes, we see the beginnings of young Afro's quest, his battles with an array of assassins and warlords, that climaxes in the epic confrontation with the powerful Empty Seven Clan and a showdown with an old enemy... Volume 2: After having defeated the Empty Seven Clan, Afro is forced to face a new threat: a deadly warrior who wears a teddy mask called Jinno. Will his bloodthirsty campaign of vengeance be thwarted, or will he finally face Justice and claim the number one headband?

Media Reviews

"Gotta figure out a way to get this on the Big Screen!!! My Man Takashi Okazaki did his thang with this one!" Samuel L Jackson A throwback to the kind of manga I used to love. Recommended." Otaku USA Magazine "Both familiar but refreshingly unique...its visual style and genuine flair will keep you hooked." Monkeys Fighting Robots "Super stylish and ultra-violent, this isn't for the faint hearted, but for the OG gangstas out there, it's the real deal." Mainly Manga "Violent and episodic sword fights and mayhem." Publishers Weekly "You get to marvel at the awesome artwork. A great translation." - Astonishing Melanie, Near Mint Condition "Takashi crafted a very fractured character in Afro..." Comic Attack "For fans of the genre, the raw, largely unpandering violence is impressive." Ain't It Cool "I absolutely fell in love with everything about this!" Maddogg Comics "The artwork enhances the narrative with its grimdark feel. Okazaki needs only black, white, and the crimson of blood to portray the violence and action in his artwork. Reading this graphic novel is choosing to follow the path of chaos." Manhattan Book Review 4/5 stars
