The digital hit samurai epic comes to print in 2-in-1 omnibuses! This historical action manga follows a Japanese warrior's journey to Europe in search of vengeance, at the height of the Thirty Years' War. Vinland Saga meets Shogun in this American Manga Awards-nominated masterwork.

The year is A.D. 1620. Europe is riven with the conflagrations that will grow into the Thirty Years War. Catholic and Protestant forces clash across battlefields ruled by sword and gunpowder alike, and mercenaries of every stripe ply their trade. Among them is Issak, a lone Japanese warrior wielding a matchlock gun of strange design, on a sworn mission to find and kill the man who murdered his master and fled Japan for the other side of the world.

Extra-long omnibus edition contains Vol. 9-10 of the Japanese release.

Praise for Issak Omnibus 5 (Vol. 9-10)

Nominated for Best Translation in the inaugural American Manga Awards:
“Complex content, with a lot of historical references. The translator rode with it, and did a good job capturing the different voices of each character along the way.”
-Matt Alt, American Manga Award Translation Judge

“A good job handling varied character voices, and I was particularly struck by how smoothly the translator dealt with very cultural concepts such as on and ongaeshi.”
-Hiroko Yoda, American Manga Award Translation Judge
