 I've come out of lurking to recommend this cool manga that doesn't get talked about enough in ADTRW. Golden Kamui is a manga that takes place in Meiji Era Hokkaido just after the close of the Russo-Japanese War. It stars this guy:  Sugimoto, a veteran of the war. He's so good at not dying that he got the nickname of "the Immortal." His whole goal is to get a bunch of gold to save the woman he loves from an illness. After coming to Hokkaido in a failed attempt to capitalize on a gold rush, he ends up hearing about a huge stash of gold some crazy criminal stashed before he was caught and locked up. The "treasure map" to the gold was then tattooed on the backs of all his fellow inmates before they staged an escape. Sugimoto teams up an Ainu girl:  Asirpa, who's after the gold because that crazy criminal who stashed it stole it from her father and killed him in the process. Together, the two of them are on a race against time against the other criminals along with a local division of the Japanese Army and the occasional angry bear! This manga is a great blend of interesting Ainu culture, exciting action, and comedy all in a package that comes off a lot like a Japanese take on a Western movie. And Sugimoto punches a bear!  And eats an otter!  And has many other adventures besides! This is a really good manga that you should read if you're interested in the Ainu culture, food, Meiji era Japan, or the pitiless brutality of nature.

I hope this series continues to be predominantly about Asipra convincing Sugimoto to eat weird things while bears maul people in the background.

I really like the action so far in this manga. It's always clear and obvious what's happening, and the fight scenes are quick, efficient, and brutal. Plus I like how the author uses double page spreads for important action bits, like Sugimoto's drop kick or a man throwing a prostitute like a frisbee.

But more importantly, a burning question; Will Asirpa eat the poop?

I hope this series builds up to an all out brawl between Sugimoto, Tsurumi, Hijikata, Retar and a bear or two.

I can't decide if I want those to belong to somebody else or if I want him to just get up and like, suck them back in and walk it off because he's Sugimoto the Immortal.

If Zorak were still here, he'd probably have a loving essay on the Ainu on the ready for us.
