In a new world inspired by Edo-period Japan, Geralt is faced with difficult moral choices while battling a variety of y?kai and oni, creatures inspired by Japanese myths. Each encounter drops a clue in his desperate search for a mysterious apparition known as the Lady of Snow, yuki onna, for she is the key to who Geralt seeks, but finding her won't be easy . . .
Presenting a new story in The Witcher universe based on the rich traditions of Japanese folklore. Here, the role of a witcher is just as essential-as dangerous spirits and demons are constantly on the prowl.
Overall, The Witcher: Ronin is a fun manga which shows the White Wolf can thrive anywhere. The story by Jaki is powerful. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a book that makes bold choices and pays off in spades. Read Full Review
