Although Taiyo Matsumoto desired a career as a professional soccerplayer at first, he eventually chose an artistic profession. He gained his first success through the Comic Open contest, held by the magazine Comic Morning, which allowed him to make his professional debut. He started out with 'Straight', a comic about basketball players. Sports remain his main influence in his next comic, 'Zéro', a story about a boxer.

In 1993 Matsumoto started the 'Tekkonkinkurito' trilogy in Big Spirits magazine, which was even adapted to a theatre play. He continued his comics exploits with several short stories for the Comic Aré magazine, which are collected in the book 'Nihon no Kyodai'. Again for Big Spirits, Taiyo Matsumoto started the series 'Ping Pong' in 1996. 'Number Five' followed in 2001, published by Shogakukan.

After Seno loses another friend to Kikuchi, he takes back his sword and swears to defeat the villain. Most of the volume is very quiet, showing the peaceful day to day lives of Seno and his associates, showing us the cost of the violence to come. The foreboding is there but foremost is the celebration of life, the joy found in the small things a lot of us don’t stop to appreciate. The art is breathtaking.
After a poorly printed book 5, Kana bounces back with the most solidly built book of the series, hopefully the last two are the same.

書名的意思是，帶著竹劍(竹光)的武士(侍)。

瀨能宗一郎是個來自信濃的浪人，住到江戶的長屋後，一開始由於長相奇特(狐狸臉)和奇特的舉止(躺在屋頂上看雲、山、發呆)受眾人注目，但久而久之，大家，尤其是小孩子們，都喜歡這個舉止怪異但性情溫和的浪人。

受邀到私塾裡教授孩子們識字的宗一郎，每天的優閒生活卻無法持久，因為信濃的大名身體衰老，府邸裡出現擁立十歲姪子或者是還不知道自己身世的私生子瀨能宗一郎兩派，反對私生子繼承的這方人馬即刻出手，先到宗一郎和父母親一起窩居的深山裡想要來個斬草除根，沒想到師承父親劍術的宗一郎在逃跑後又折返，一舉將入侵者除了詐死者外全數殲滅，之後遵照父親遺言前往江戶，卻始終擺脫不了接二連三的追殺。

宗一郎的母親是信濃大名侍妾，在懷有身孕的情況下，賜給了在府邸裡擔任劍道教練的父親，劍術高明的父親並不諳官場奸險，在得罪當權者後攜妻遠避深山。宗一郎並不清楚自己的身世，故對連番追殺感到十分困惑，即使父母慘死眼前，仍無法理解心中蠢動的殺意，為了不成為噬血的鬼怪，甚至將父親給的寶劍典當。直到殺手濫殺無辜，宗一郎終於下定決心要正面迎擊，好讓他喜愛的升斗小民們，可以不再因為他而惴惴難安。

故事就到此為止

當初預約的時候以為全套只有六集，正高興全都到手，一口氣可以看到結局，沒想到最後兩本還在新書準備階段，根本不能上線預約。

故事就先到這這裡為止。何時上網預約成功，何時書能夠到手，何時就知道最後結尾。

另外的心得，就留到全部看完再說吧！

很多分鏡都有浮世繪的感覺
而且故意為之的粗糙畫風搭配越來越悲涼的劇情
真是越看越符合時代劇的感覺
很驚訝漫畫居然這麼能表現出時代小說的氛圍

旗本御輿家三男大三朗雖然痴痴顛顛的
但在第六集故意向最大反派木久地單挑送死
只為將國房毫無牽掛的交還主角
再加上前面一直強調武士家次子都被迫當廢物的無奈
看了真是難過啊

但第六集故意斷在主角準備要殺掉反派
因而跟一班駐江戶本來要殺他的原領國人交好之後就不演了
圖書館可以趕快買完後兩本嗎...

Not the greatest manga... The story was quite dull and really didn’t like the crappy art 👌😤❤️

[a ☕︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

a great and tragic five-set chapter brings an arc to conclusion: the loyal dog barks at the setting sun, red eyes, a crab under the moonlit night, the audible footsteps of a thousand horsemen’s horses, and before the break of dawn. as a note, i love how the writer skips forward into the future to provide conclusions for characters who won’t return, similar to how he skips back into the past to provide backgrounds for characters who are introduced on short notice.
