Synopsis
It's a battle of ninja vs. ninja, with all the stops pulled out and every trick in the book. Well, almost every trick. Our protagonist/ninja, Hanzo's young ninja wife, Tsukumo, must avenge her father's death at the hands of another shadow warrior, but he's as crafty as they come. This mystical, imaginative faceoff consumes all 300 plus pages of this action-stuffed volume.

About the Author
Kazuo Koike is a prolific Japanese manga writer, novelist, and entrepreneur. Early in Koike's career, he studied under Golgo 13 creator Takao Saito and served as a writer on the series. Koike, along with artist Goseki Kojima, made the manga Kozure Okami (Lone Wolf and Cub), and Koike also contributed to the scripts for the 1970s film adaptations of the series, which starred famous Japanese actor Tomisaburo Wakayama. Another series written by Koike, Crying Freeman, which was illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami, was adapted into a 1995 live-action film by French director Christophe Gans.
Goseki Kojima was a Japanese manga artist known for his collaborations with Kazuo Koike. The team was often referred to as the “Golden Duo.” Kojima’s best-known work was Lone Wolf and Cub. Other titles attributed to Kojima are Samurai Executioner and Path of the Assassin. In 2004, Kojima won an Eisner Award.
From Booklist
The fifth volume of Koike and Kojima's sweeping historical graphic novel is rather an interregnum. Ninja Hanzo Hattori is voluntarily estranged from his master, Ieyasu. The uncanny old ninja who attacked Hanzo in volume 4 now assaults Hanzo's father-in-law, and the dying man charges Hanzo and his wife, Tsukumo, to avenge him. The rest of the book follows their mission, which devolves into a philosophical dialogue about loyalty, love, and the future of Japan. Recalling the fabulous cinema of Mizoguchi (Sansho the Bailiff) Kojima's artwork is the ideal visual corollary to the argument. Ray Olson
