Susumu Inuzuka

История первой любви корейского юноши, вынужденного вместе с отцом-профессором на время переехать в Японию, и японской девушки-художницы. Их чувства пробуждаются внезапно и, несмотря на языковой барьер, легко и трогательно. Но, к сожалению, людям редко удаётся сохранить это самое первое и самое чистое, как и первый снег, чувство… Разлука, непонимание — преодолимы ли они?

Master swordsman Akiyama Kohei’s simple life in retirement is jarred into violent sword action when he meets an elderly fencing instructor who may be the target of a group of thieves planning a major armed robbery. At the same time dojo master Daijiro saves the life of man who, although skilled in archery has an aversion to killing and a woman artist comes into town where she is in danger of being raped by one of the thieves. From the pen of noted author Ikenami Shotaro, creator of such classics as Bandit Ve. Samurai, Hunter In The Dark, The Last Samurai, and Hissatsu-The Professional Killers! Brilliant storytelling that leads to superb swordsmanship!

The samurai Akiyama Daijiro is asked to help a young boy who tries to bring the man who murdered his father to justice. In the course of their quest they uncover a plot by one of the clan officials that could change the course of history.
