This edition features bonus content, color pages, and storyboard samples, offering a deeper look into the journey of one of history's most celebrated swordsmen.

The story centers on the real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi, the quintessential warrior-philosopher known for authoring A Book of Five Rings. This volume focuses on Musashi's early life when he was known as Shinmen Takezō.

At seventeen, Shinmen Takezō is a wild brute setting out on the way of the sword. Following the devastating Battle of Sekigahara, Takezō is a fugitive survivor from the losing side. His vicious nature has made him an outcast, hunted like an animal. At this critical juncture, an eccentric monk and a childhood friend may be the only ones who can guide him toward his destiny.
