Synopsis
Sengoku-era ninja Saruhiko and ambitious Dosan Saito navigate espionage, betrayal, and shifting alliances with unlikely ally Shogoro.
Mitsuteru Yokoyama, a master artist renowned for his diverse masterpieces, presents a gripping Sengoku period tale following the early exploits of young Dosan Saito and his enigmatic one-eyed ninja companion, Saruhiko. Set against the backdrop of warring states and shifting alliances, the story delves into the dangerous world of espionage and ambition where loyalty and betrayal walk hand in hand. When Saruhiko finds himself in peril, his path crosses with Shogoro, an unassuming oil seller whose life becomes entangled with the shadowy affairs of the ninja. As secrets and hidden agendas begin to surface, the delicate balance between duty and personal gain threatens to reshape destinies in ways none of them could have anticipated.
