The Legend of Kamui Named a K-Comics Beat’s Best Manga & Manhwa of 2025!

"Weasel eats mouse. Bird of prey eats weasel. A flap of its wings spread seeds eaten by the dear chased by the bear that frightens the rabbit that is killed by the wild man of the woods. He lifts the corpse and says: “Kamui!” Meanwhile, in a nearby fortress, samurai shoot a loyal dog to death with arrows for fun.

That’s what Legend of Kamui is all about: in a world that follows the cycle of nature, humans perpetuate cycles of oppression for their own benefit. What does it mean to live in that world as a peasant or an outcast, struggling to build solidarity despite a social order determined to destroy it? Shirato Sanpei’s historical epic is a dense work that will give you back as much as you put in."
