New Lone Wolf & Cub / Koike, Kazuo

"Samurai T?og?o Shigekata has brought Daigoro, son of the dead Lone Wolf, to an oasis of safety: the warship of T?og?o's master. But dark agendas move in the shadows and deadly plans have been set in motion. When T?og?o is falsely accused of treason, he sees before him the same path that Daigoro and his father traveled--the road to hell!"--Back cover.

"Fighting for survival against Ushikudonki ninja, T?og?o Shigekata is unaware that a warship sails north to ensure he will never reach Edo Castle. But T?og?o's charge, young Diagoro, has been trained by the swordmaster and will for the first time demonstrate his skills in combat...and draw his first blood!"--Back cover.
