## Description

Path of the Assassin, called Hanzo no Mon in Japan, is the story of Hattori Hanzo, the fabled master ninja whose duty was to protect Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ieyasu was the shogun who would unite Japan into one great nation. But before he could do that, he had to grow up and learn how to love the ladies! As the secret caretaker of such an influential future leader, not only does Hanzo use vast and varied ninja talents, but in living closely with Ieyasu, he forms a close friendship with the young shogun.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Serie von Kazuo Koike
*by  on Reviewed in Germany 11 August 2015*

Ich bin begeistert. Über den Service. Wie immer gut verpackt und schnell geliefert.Über das Manga. Die Geschichte ist ähnlich wie "Lone Wolf & Cub" spannend aufgebaut Kazuo Koikes Texte sind knapp aber gehaltvoll eingesetzt und von Goseki Kojima schön illustriert und spannend in Szene gesetzt. Der Preis für die englische Ausgabe ist angemessen. Schade das die Serie nicht auch in Deutsch verlegt wurde.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serving in the dark has its ups and downs.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 8 June 2013*

What is unique about this story?Kazuo Koike is known for making stories about extremely powerful warriors during the feudal samurai era of Japan and this story is special because it is the coming of age story of not only the Assassin but also the master he serves. There is power and great skill in both the samurai lord and his ninja but also a youthful vulnerability to the two of them which gives such great character to the story. This story is so good with an ending to the first book is very pleasantly surprising.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mideval Japan
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 7 August 2018*

An incredible look at 13th century Japan. A wonderful look at a particular subsection of the empire as it existed at that time.
