The Last Surviving Samurai. Volume 2

Japan at the twilight of the samurai era. The brave contestants of the “royal battle” continue their deadly journey: the prize promises wealth and fame, but only a few will make it to the end. En route to the next checkpoint, Futae disappears without a trace—she is kidnapped by someone along the way.

The kidnapping is orchestrated by Gion Sansuké, Syujiro’s sworn brother. He demands a personal meeting—but will it become a trap? In a world where trust can so easily turn into death, Syujiro still has to heed his brother’s words. Ahead of the participants in this lethal game lies a new trial that will test their character and combat skill.

To survive, Syujiro will have to stand shoulder to shoulder again with his former comrades and face off against Gento-sai—an infamous legend that turns out to be horrifyingly real. The literary foundation for Netflix’s new hit: a namesake series where “Shōgun” collides with “Battle Royale” and “Squid Game”! Stunning cover by Sui Ishida, creator of the cult manga “Tokyo Ghoul”!
