Looking for more Samurai and Ninja shit. Are there any must reads in the genre?
Was looking at Taiko next since its by the same author.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 24 18:41:35 2019 No.14050512 >>14049248 You should start with the Kojiki. It's basically the Silmarillion of all Japanese history and folklore.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 25 09:18:32 2019 No.14053691 >>14049248 Read, then watch Shigurui.

Taiko is a masterpiece I wish they would do a big series a la game of thrones chronicling the épopée of the three unifiers of Japan from the campaigns of Nobunaga against Imagawa to the siege of Osaka, switching point of views between the different families. It would be so fucking great but I know they won't do it because we can't get nice things anymore.
