Review
“Sean Michael Wilson has authored a unique line of manga-style books on Japanese themes. This latest edition, The Satsuma Rebellion, with artist Akiko Shimojima, portrays the real last stand of the samurai and the central figure—Saigo Takamori, the subject of NHK television’s year-long historical drama in 2018—with style and accuracy.”
—Davide Calzetti, Japanese historical researcher
