The Real Musashi: The Manga Edition by Kozo Kaku and Touru Sugita presents the true story of MIYAMOTO MUSASHI, Japan's greatest swordsman, told in an exciting manga form!

Miyamoto Musashi was undefeated throughout his long career as a fighter and became even more famous later in life as the author of The Book of Five Rings, the bible of Japanese military strategy that is still widely read today. This book tells the incredible true story of an enigmatic man who is the most famous warrior in history.

The exciting events recounted in this book include:

  • Musashi's first duel at the age of 13, where he successfully defeated a much older and more experienced swordsman.
  • The dramatic showdown at Ganryujima, where Musashi bested his greatest rival, Sasaki Kojiro, and became a living legend throughout Japan.
  • His unparalleled career in fighting 61 duels without ever being defeated.
  • Why and how he wrote The Book of Five Rings later in lifeโ€”a literary classic that has been read by millions of people.

The Real Musashi is a fast-paced, action-packed story about the most exciting figure in Japanese history, a man whose story continues to be told in countless video games and anime series.
