If you want to get a taste of the story, there's an anime for one of the later spin-off stories on Crunchyroll. [ https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/G6NQJ2ZZ6/gifu-dodo-kanetsugu-and-keiji?srsltid=AfmBOorJczCDoXPqmQPKjJraz33x22xeLUg4afoUibw5Ku2rfCd-qeM3 ] But basically, it's like one of those Koei period piece games, but with the art and banter of the Fist of the North Star guy. (You also might be interested if you like the royal intrigues of the Shogun series from FX.) And like Fist, Keiji is also in hardcover. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1647295009/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.V5XyGBVKo1OVYu4YUQHDNQ.6UFuUY_H1VOZr4qAEP_yaQvZ2IxM8Kd38ZgNfrWQYjI&qid=1741597261&sr=1-1

Page count is finally up. 392. https://www.amazon.com/Magnificent-Bastard-Legend-Keiji/dp/1647295009/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YY7YZ5ARI71C&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tkF_272pxqXVGC9eaRNj-4CH7f63Y1AxQeM9r_cskA1cG70Y0mKrhEg4kB57K5GYwIoDnOVpMxv8u4KPdUc3f1bvpn97yJ5OtfWc-StaWt9JvZMrLXicSxBiF0I8q7GwxLj-MdRgqUedG73mHQfxXy8hMXdoRu-AKPsc0c6yH3c0KPnGGVqzNtcG1JHO2u9cbdG6wpLbf4jFRJb9gIK1R86rTUqQc_924HqSxcii5T8.OCP-OZlIihrnF7rXD3kui9-m0bn9VvWaPEj7xa1dLSA&dib_tag=se&keywords=Keiji+Hara&qid=1755658616&s=books&sprefix=keiji+hara+%2Cstripbooks%2C191&sr=1-1

Currently has a terrible Amazon ranking. Again, if you liked Game of Thrones or Drifters, check out Keiji.

In case anyone is interested, the later volumes of the series here simply go by Magnificent Bastard.

So I'm reading it, and apparently it's the uncensored version. Like City Hunter, Raijin dumbed down the fan service, so you're getting a good deal with the new edition.

You should also dig Keiji, if you liked Netflix's Yasuke.

The second volume needs a ranking boost on Amazon. So I'll just say check it out if you like Vagabond and Lone Wolf and Cub, too.

Ok, second volume is doing worse. https://www.amazon.com/Magnificent-Bastard-2-Mio-Aso/dp/1647295203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=38X9BZR6MANCF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Bl3QZZBLMBy7oi3_ZmMzaHYEX7xVJ2YP3nu5S3ja9YPeXd418K_nqK_4Toqu9e3yzcKfOlDTLNuDlq5cUVycSciRp4M2sObJqEWh-XQEbJoyyslrgY9AQtL7TxD38jXuIpcd-zCVGirzrGOnqrDARWD4pazW2VP2S2M7xbCzfflkIgHbQl9t4xWA5Pwf8ociqvj_uijPY5ZDbcOwmxeMX2I-fot7f7T_6C3VknQjXsM.rv_turZMgPQ1v_cuailT6yfXlBgKzNdkiR7Dc12eKsg&dib_tag=se&keywords=Magnificent+Bastard&qid=1770350090&s=books&sprefix=magnificent+bastard%2Cstripbooks%2C5258&sr=1-1 If you have to, support it on CR, at least, so you can get that discount. https://store.crunchyroll.com/products/the-magnificent-bastard-manga-volume-2-hardcover-9781647295202.html Plus, it's a prime target for CR's new 'availability' policy. But I think the fact that it's unpredictable is a good reason to support it in general. If you like a feudal Japan Berserk, give it a shot.

If you're still sitting on the fence, CR has a few copies left of the first volume for $20. Or had, anyway....

Third volume needs a ranking boost. If you like the new Faces of Death movie and the upcoming Mortal Kombat II movie, check out Keiji.
