Synopsis

Saichi Sugimoto is feared as the "Immortal Sugimoto" for his savagery on the battlefield during the Russo-Japanese war, but he is by no means a war hero. Sugimoto has been left to fend for himself after his release from the army for nearly killing a superior officer. Braving the rough terrain of Hokkaido, Sugimoto is now searching for gold in order to keep a promise to his lost brother-in-arms. His efforts have been fruitless for a long time until a mysterious traveler tells him of an urban legend that would rid him of all his troubles.

According to the legend, a criminal stole the gold of the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, and hid it away in a location that can only be found when a map—made not from pieces of parchment, but the tattooed skins of escaped convicts—is brought together.

Upon meeting with a young Ainu girl, Asirpa, Sugimoto sets off in search of the tattooed prisoners, but many dangers await as soldiers and mercenaries seek the gold as well. Aided by Asirpa's knowledge of the lands, the two of them depart to find the stolen Ainu gold in a journey of revenge, murder, and greed.

I loved almost everything except for the last chapters from the last arc. So a 9 to 300 chapters and a 7 to the last 14 ones (its a figure of speech) so it gets a 9 because math me am good.
The comedy was gold ;), the characters great and the story was really interesting. Honestly this review holds almost no weight because I want to read it once more since there were many things I just didn´t see.
But it gets a 9, because it deserves it.
I have full confidence in whatever the author chooses to do from now on (read dogsread, I want ...

If you're on the hunt for a great story, look no further! I've recently come across one of the best stories ever and I can't rave about it enough.

I highly recommend that everyone read, watch, or talk about this story with ...

Golden Kamuy is a complex narrative that represents a breath of fresh air in a tired topic, with a particular style that can be too much for many, but is definitely fun and engaging.

For fans of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure who miss that specific blend of humor and tension more in line with the first three parts, this is a gold mine — early Araki's influence is palpable in many aspects of the work.

With that said, let’s delve into what Golden Kamuy is about and the themes it explores. We’ll also discuss if the beginning might be misleading, and how effectively it tackles its thematic elements.

So, ...
