Path of the Assassin, Volume 5: Battle of One Hundred and Eight Days

by Kazuo Koike

Overview

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.

* Path of the Assassin packs historical fiction and fine art in yet another classic samurai series from Dark Horse.
