The concept of Lone Wolf and Cub is, in a word, fascinating. A stoic Ronin wanders the countryside of ancient Japan, carting his small child in a vessel that more than meets the eye, with a banner to advertise: `son for hire, sword for hire. Over mountains and through cities he travels, offering his unique services to those needy - and to those who can pay. The legend of Ogami Itto and his precocious son Daigoro spreads far and wide; he gives hope to the desperate, vengeance for the bereft, a chance of rogue justice in an unbalanced society. And more: LW&C walk the path of meifumado, the Buddhist hell of demons and damnation, to achieve a private vendetta: to lay rest to the tragedy that has set father and son upon the assassins road - a dastardly deed only hinted at in this first volume.Until Dark Horse decided to publish the entire series in 2000, Lone Wolf and Cub had existed beforehand as a manga-mythos of the Far-East - extremely popular in its Nippon homeland, where it begun serialization in 1970 and continued for many years, spawning six films and critical acclaim in its wake; but published sporadically and incomplete on western shores. Dark Horses commitment to the series was an audacious one - the story spanned some 28 volumes, an expensive investment for publisher and readership alike - but the end result was, to me and other scholars of Eastern culture, invaluable. For LW&C not only entertains with its blend of samurai-noir and vicious sword-play, it educates on the finer points of Japanese culture, as it existed in the Tokugawa era, and displays vividly the struggle of existence, from lowly peasants to the most upright nobility. LW&C is an Epic, and one of the finest Ive chanced to read.`The Assassins Road sets the tone of the series: small self-contained vignettes concerning the adventures of Ogami Itto and Daigoro, usually-but not always-concerning the grisly reality of their occupation. Intertwined are digressions into matters of Bushido, Buddhism and other aspects of Japanese society; and, sprinkled throughout, the larger and eventually more encompassing storyarc of LW&Cs feud with the shadow-family of the Yagyu, `official assassins of the Shogun. I have to admit that, structurally, the Ogami vs. Yagtu storyline is the most compelling aspect to the series, at least initially: and it comes in such rare intervals early on in the series that one continually hungers for more information, more contact with the central conflict...and yet, the minor storytelling is just as potent, if not more so - for here we are given insight into Ogami Ittos character, and that of his son; here we are exposed to the personalities, petty conflicts and personal struggle of Japanese history - and Japanese character.This volume contains nine stories, nine steps for Ogami Itto and his son on their thousand-mile journey to meifumado...and beyond.1) Son for Hire, Sword for Hire - the opening tale for the entire epic. Ogami Itto enters the *shima* (death-zone) to take down a scheming politician. A fitting, if mysterious, introduction to the characters and overall style of the manga.2) A Father knows his Childs Heart, as only a Child can know his Fathers: The relationship between father and son is explored in this short tale of deception and retribution; the concept of meifumado is given, and a deeper framework to LW&Cs actions hinted at. Contains sexual content - gratuitous to western eyes; but not, I think, to those of the east, considering how *some* manga are...different cultures, different standards.3) From North to South, from West to East - LW&C are hired to assassinate a vassal before he is taken to Edo for torture and confession. A decent story made valuable for its explanation of Shogun politics.4) Baby Cart on the River Styx - the corruption of small town officials, and what lengths they will go to protect their malifecience, is at the heart of this tale. One begins to perceive Ogami Itto as not just a scruffy assassin, but a man concerned with honor and justice.5) Suio School Zanbato - Daigoro `accidentally urinates upon the head of a passing nobleman, who subsequently challenges the Lone Wolf to single combat. Like most of vol. 1, this story serves the purpose of exploring who and what LW&C are: Ogamis sword-style - and the lengths in which he will use his son as accomplice.6) Waiting for the Rains - Daigoro meets a sick woman at a shrine; it is revealed that she was used by a shinobi (ninja) to help discredit her family house. Ogami Itto waits in the shadows, confident that the guilty ninja will return for his abandoned lover...7) Eight Gates of Deceit - LW&C travel to a remote mountain village, only to find the inhabitants slaughtered, his contract void, and eight female warriors hunting for wolfs blood. A rousing action tale with a philosophic conclusion.8) Wings to the Bird, Fangs to the Beast - my second favorite in this compilation. LW&C travel to a hot springs for rest and relaxation. A gang of bandits has occupied the town, however, and they take Ogami Itto prisoner. At the end of this story, we are given a vital clue into the history of LW&C, which leads directly into...9) The Assassins Road - a flashback sequence shows us (some) of the events that led LW&C onto the assassins road. The evolution of Daigoro throughout the series is its emotional keystone, at once riveting and heartbreaking.LW&C vol. 1 - `The Assassins Road does an admirable job of setting forward the characters and conflicts that shall dominate the Epic as a whole, but on its own, it is perhaps the least of the twenty-eight volumes. The art, storytelling, and language translation all improve with successive volumes. The last two stories alone make this compilation worth the price, however, and I whole-heartedly recommend Lone Wolf and Cub to both manga-enthusiasts and those curious about Japanese history.
