Golden Kamuy Season One Review
While it can seem a little unfocused and slow to get going, Golden Kamuy is a gritty and thrilling Japanese-styled Western adventure that pits the various factions of its eccentric cast against each other in the hunt for a hidden stash of Ainu gold, where the treasure map is tattooed on prison escapees of all things!

Orient Volume 2 Review
As our heroes Musashi and Kojiro prepare to step out on their quest to rid The Land of the Setting Sun of the demons that have ruled the country for the last 150 years, this volume finds itself being burdened by all the exposition required to move the story forward. However, it still offers plenty of interesting character development as it introduces a stylish new addition to the cast.
