About the Book
Set in a fantastical version of medieval Japan teeming with giant amphibians, mutant fish, and yōkai spirits, this wordless graphic novel follows a gifted young ninja on a dangerous mission: to retrieve a mysterious arrow, expose a hidden traitor, and stop a looming war between rival clans.
Micol’s world pays homage to classic chanbara samurai cinema, with echoes of Kurosawa, but twists it into something absurd, monstrous, and magnificent. His deeply textured linework evokes traditional engraving and delivers dizzying aerial action scenes and stunning narrative compositions — without a single word.
A true visual experience and a must-have for collectors of experimental comics, illustration lovers, and fans of Japanese myth.
