Summary
Growing up in the late 16th century Sengoku era Japan, Shinmen Takezou is shunned by the local villagers as a devil child due to his wild and violent nature. Running away from home with a fellow boy at age 17, Takezo joins the Toyotomi army to fight the Tokugawa clan at the Battle of Sekigahara. However, the Tokugawa win a crushing victory, leading to nearly three hundred years of Shogunate rule. Takezo and his friend manage to survive the battle and afterwards swear to do great things with their lives. However, after their paths separate, Takezo becomes a wanted criminal and must change his name and his nature in order to escape an ignoble death. **Awards:** - Won the 24th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category in 2000. - Won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2002 **Note:** was nominated for the 2003 Eisner Award in the Best Writer/Artist category.
