From Viz:In
the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi
“Immortal” Sugimoto scratches out a meager existence during the postwar
gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map
to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to
find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who
knows about the gold will kill to possess it! Faced with the harsh
conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue
Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck—and the
help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa—to survive.Note: Won the 9th Manga Taisho Award in 2016 and the 22nd Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2018. Was nominated for the 20th and 21st Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize and the 40th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2016.
