review:

Ningen is a young monk who is just leaving the temple for the first time. Or is he? There is more to Ningen's story than even he realizes, and witch Hannya has her own designs on him.



It turns out that Kitsune is responsible for killing a lot of samurai, as well as fathering a child with one of the seasons, so there are a whole host of people out trying to find him. Some want to help, but most want him dead or to use him to bring about chaos on the land.



In a surreal story, J. P. Kalonji weaves some mythological creatures into a strange story that includes the embodiment of the seasons and a Kitsune. The artwork is great, but I found the lettering to be a little hard to read at times. If Japanese fantasy sounds interesting, check out this graphic novel.
