Get Ready for ONI RONIN Graphic Novel Exploring Japanese Folklore This November

Dark Horse and Stan Sakai’s (Usagi Yojimbo) Dogu Publishing are teaming up for some collaborations and one of the first ones is Oni Ronin. The new graphic novel is set in the afterlife of Japanese folklore and is set to be an epic journey of self-discovery. This already sounds pretty cool in my opinion. Oni Ronin is written by Mack Flavelle and Kohei Naganime with art by Tatsubi and creative assistance from Maldoror, Manabu Seko, and Keojimal.

Set in Japan during the Sengoku or “Warring States” period, Oni Ronin is a tale of cowardice, sacrifice, and redemption. Combining historically accurate characters and locations with mythical kitsune and malevolent demons from Japanese folklore, Oni Ronin is the redemption story of the cowardly Sarobei, a samurai messenger who meets feudal lords, brave warriors, and heroic ghosts on his journey of self-discovery.

You’ll be able to read the 120-page trade paperback of Oni Ronin at their favorite bookstores starting November 28 and local comic shops on November 29. The graphic novel will have an MSRP of $14.99 with pre-orders now available.
