Lady Snowblood Volume 4 — Kazuo Koike

As samurai were losing their bearings in a time of change, Yuki brought back the demonic spirit of vengeance. And the good part about this last volume of Lady Snowblood is that she saved her most hated targets for last. Yet, in the midst of a maelstrom of sex and violence, the reader will still catch a few glimpses of warmth and human compassion. That's because Kazuo Koike, the creator of the popular Lone Wolf & Cub manga, knows how to build around good characters, and Lady Snowblood is certainly no exception. See how it all ends in volume 4, the second part of "Retribution."

• From Kazuo Koike, writer of Lone Wolf & Cub, Crying Freeman,and Samurai Executioner.

• Lady Snowblood is published in the authentic Japanese format.
