This deserves the attention of more popular Ishinomori creations like Cyborg 009. The atmosphere is top-notch, the paneling and art kick ass and Ichi is a great character. The character drawings almost look lazy if you look at certain individual panels, but as a whole the way it's all drawn and inked feels very controlled and appealing.

Ishinomori was not very good at female anatomy to be fair.... but the same applies to a lot of other artists that are otherwise great.

I remember begin put off by the first chapter when I first read it. Now I'm giving it a second chance, and it's alot better than I remembered. Maybe you have to be used to 60's and 70's manga to appreciate it.
I'm only a few chapters ahead, but if this quality keeps up, I would call it one of the first masterpieces of manga.

The first chapter is amazing though. Just look at the transitions from page 27 onwards. Absolutely amazing use of visuals that you can only do in a comic book.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
