Previously, I dumped the entirety of Lone Wolf and Cub >>281531121, a story about father and son who wander Edo Japan in their quest for revenge. Decades after is was published, its writer Kazuo Koike teamed up with a different artist, Hideki Mori, to make a sequel continuing right off where the original ended: On the outskirts of Edo, in the heart of meifumadou!
oh god, digital coloring....
read right to left, this time.
thanks OP for starting this but isnt it like half translated?
>>282053364as far as I know, Dark Horse published all 11 volumes. I actually only found eight so far, but I'll keep looking.
very, uh, evocative.
>Hattorioh shit
clearly they're students of the Retsudou School of Shinobi Arts
>>282053142bisexual lives matter
I love this page
oh shit, it was still there
holy shit, no hesitation.
>>282053142Early digital coloring was hell. I absolutely hate digital gradient shading in particular, and artists fucking loved that early on.
>>282054095>digital gradient shading in particularI hate that with all my might, just a flat color instead of that ugly mess.
YES
a technique to surpass itto's sword throw!?
lol
>>282053173The boy's mentally fucked for life at this point.
I'm glad daigoro found someone half as crazy as his father.
>>282054397He's dumber than his dad since he's falling for this ninja plot.
>>282053208>Totally brave btw
>>282053466Is this NTR?
he blew it all on a birthday gift for his kid, grandma.
>>282054573a Non-Traditional Relationship, yeah
>>282053126did we finally got a new versions? it was this year?
>>282054804I'm not sure what you mean.
this is nice
you heard it from the man himself, ronaldo fenĂ´meno brought back LW&C
a heartfelt story, damn.
>>282053196>the shogun removed his feet from his stirrups marvelous
>>282054129what a retarded fucking plan.
koike is more involved in the art side of things than I thought.
Thanks for the dump anon.
>>282054850>I'm not sure what you mean.new versionhttps://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/4469/lone-wolf-and-cub-deluxe-edition-announcement
I should've posted this in the beginning.
>>282054979no, this is a sequel published in 2003-2006.
don't make the same mistake I did, anon.
this is it for today, thanks for reading. for those who read the original LW&C, what did you think? I like that Togo is not as stoic as Itto, and that Daigoro is more proactive than before. I hope to continue tomorrow.
>>282054993>no, this is a sequel published in 2003-2006.I know, talking about the new and better version
>>282055062oh, I thought you had asked if I was dumping that. it's coming in december this year, it says so right there in your link.
>>282053208Why is everyone a bitch in this series?
>>282053299Toshiro Mifune?
>>282053126I missed you, OP-dono!
>>282053164Must have been one hell of a party
>>282053337Like a bear.
>>282053208The height of FEUDAL JAPAN autism. Making a political issue of giving dead men basic courtesy
>>282053299My HERO!
>>282053380Oh shit, it's the volume cover.
>>282053380He's tapped into the caveman psychology.
>>282053645Goodbye Itto.
>>282053814Daigoro weakened it first!
>>282053428>>282053436>>282053445They're always so fucking autistic.
>>282053867Neat paneling.
>>282053751>Satsuma dialect is impossible to understandI love this trope.
>>282054009That's not hygenic.
>>282053845>>282053855Quick edging for motivation
>>282055021Thanks OP
>>282054129Convoluted like his plan
>>282054237New tech?!
>>282054359Fucking big onions forced sponsorship
>>282054447This nigga Musashi
>>282054554Sunk cost fallacy in effect
What does chest have to do with anything?
>>282054944>Media illiteracyPeasants will always be peasants
>>282054140REJOICETHE SOUL OF THE GUNSMITH
>>282054052Like a king back to his throne.
>>282054237Genius!Who would have thought that throwing the scabbard will make the sword throw stronger?
>>282054314Lmao, she's getting trounced on by a little kid.
>>282054397>>282054408He's like the funny uncle.
>>282054496Spooked me for a second there.
>>282054577Just like Abe. They can't think like a bushi so they assume it's about benefit.
>>282054696Would
>>282054856How could he inscribe it there?
>>282053299>Sweet>Free kid
>>282053451>>282053462>>282053466>>282053474Deeply Freudian....
>>282054160Time is a flat circle.
>>282054915Truly, the GOAT wherever he goes.
>>282058789that must be a typo, the only "brazilian soccer star" that had a hair cut similar to daigoro was pic related
>Having to stop after every sentence to read the footnotesOh god it's RotTK all over again
>>282053576>>282053585Kino
>>282053645My first impression is that I think that restarting this series was not that wise, but at least this scene on its own does pay off.
>>282053126Mori does a pretty good job at mimicking the original's artwork.
>>282054096That's a man, baby!
>>282053179Okay, i miss Goseki Kojima art already, not that Hideki Mori is bad by any means, but it's not the same.
>>282059376>bon, oi will be ohan new techoI feel like I'm watching meme subs
so anyone got recommendations for other samurai/feudal japan mangas? I have read most of the standard stuff recently finished Reri which was pretty good. Wondering if Azumi is good it seems really long. So far nothing compares to Lone Wolf...
>>282053142Don't tell /co/, they'll have a psychotic breakdown lolThe skintones don't look half bad actually
>>282054972That's a common thing in duo works. For example, Sandro is Kengan's author but the work starts by giving sketch drafts to the artist Daro.>>282054989I love how the pages are numbered this time. And yes, I think it will be better if you posted these at the start next dump
>>282055021Thx mate.Good first impressions. LW&C ended in a way where a sequel might not be necessary but more than a welcome if it exists. I'm glad to hear that there were Nips who wanted to see a continuation as well. This volume did well in establishing the relationship between the two and how it came to be. I'm excited to see Daigoro's training throught the story.
>>282055182Certified FEUDAL JAPAN™ behavior.
>>282053663>>282053668lil monkey fella
>>282053229At least close his eyes Jesus
>>282058004The shogunate doesn't want you to know this, but the kids at the riverbank are free, you can just take them home with you.
>>282054129How can spy organization be aware of Ogami Itto existence and then say this with a straight face?
>>282054129>>282054237>>282054299>>282054314>Make it look like you are aiming for Shigekata>Procedes to frantically pursue the child with the clear intent of killing him These guys suck, no wonder we never heard of them before, probably even the Shogun released it would be a waste of time to send them against Ogami.
>>282062473have you read Hiroshi Hirata?
>>282053631Sensitive guy
>>282054562Wait, i though they wanted kill Daigoro because he was a burden, but now they want to kill him to motivate Togo?I feel like they really just want to kill a child and are just trying to find new excused to justify it,
>>282053729>>282053743Asian masculinity...
>>282053481That's a bit disrespectful and extremely greek
>>282054304That why I really like Shigikata, he's exactly what Daigoro needs after losing his father. Ogami taught him to be hard but it was to prepare him for a specific mission, Shigikata can teach him how to be a whole and arguable better warrior. One that can LIVE and not just survive
>>282054140Nice gpu
>>282054979It's prolly gonna be a decade for it to be finished but goddamn do I NEED this
Damn, I missed the first series storytime. I assume I should read the first series before I read this?
>>282053743Japanese men really went awooga awooga over this.
>>282062473>recommendations for other samurai/feudal japan mangasI have lived for this moment. Tell me which one you've already read: Required reading:>Hyouge Mono>Takemitsu Zamurai>Kubikiri Asa>Shigurui>Blade of the ImmortalVery good too:>Yume Maboroshi no Gotoku>Takeda Shingen (by YOKOYAMA Mitsuteru)>Snow Ridge, Sword Dance (just a short story, by the same author as Reiri)>House of five leaves>Ichigeki>Sengoku Youko>Issak (maybe that's reaching a bit, it's a samurai in medieval europe)>Vagabond>JinYour mileage may vary:>Hell's Paradise - Jigokuraku>Tenkaichi>Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan (fair warning it's an isekai)>Nobunaga no chef>Sidooh>Yagyu Renya, Legend Of The Sword Master>Hanzou no Mon
>>282053428>this scabbard holds the life and soul of your father>>282054881>Also I'm going to rip your fathers soul to shreds
>>282062473I made this a while back
>>282069014You could go even further back than Heian Era if you add Touge Oni.
>>282053751>>282053759>>282053770As one knows, if you find some skilled and dependable underlings, killing them is the best idea.
>>282053867>>282055518Something I'm glad about is that even with the swap in artist that the story maintained the high quality panel direction and style.
>>282054160Iconic
>the guy was real and died at 83 years old>is a character in other mangaI shouldn't have googled
>>282054028That is pretty great.
>>282055021Thank you for posting.
>>282054052This cart actually had more personality than Itto.
