This is an on-the-road, rise-to-glory tale about Hojo Soun, a pioneering daimyo of the Warring States Period who became a lord overnight, and Flying Kato, the legendary ninja who supported him from the shadows. It was originally created by Koike Kazuo, one of the gods of modern manga, and is brought to life through the bewitching battle-art-style of Momojiri Saburou! Just before the chaos of the Warring States Period began, after the Muromachi Period, a young Hojo Soun, who has taken the name Ise Shinkuro, begins a journey to enter into the service of a samurai family. All he has to lead him is his confidence in his spear skills and his passion. Along the way, he finds a poor-looking child sitting in the shadow of a tree, and offers him water and food. This act ends up turning his entire world upside down....
The end of the Edo period, the Bakumatsu (between 1853 and 1867), was an era of uncertainty and chaos, a time when the line between right and wrong was indistinguishable. During this era, Hijikata Toushizou, determined to live by his own rules, led his reformed Shinsengumi--formerly a ragtag group of mercenaries that became the elite Samurai fighting force of the shogunate--to glory. This is the story of his life.
The manga and the movies of the same name are both based on the Onmyouji novels by well known Japanese science fiction writer Yumemakura Baku. All three concern the adventures of Abe no Seimei, an onmyouji (magician) serving the imperial court during the Heian period and his friend nobleman Minamoto no Hiromasa. Both men are historical figures who appear in various sets of tales. Many of the early chapters of the manga closely follow stories in the Konjaku Monogatari or Uji Shui Monogatari. Note: Won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Grand Prize in 1997 and the Seiun Award for best comic of the year in 2006.
