Samurai Champloo, Volume 1

Samurai Champloo Manga series

Three travelers with little in common, a tea house worker, a hired blade and a wandering swordsman, team up in pursuit of a mysterious warrior known only as the Sunflower Samurai. Their road takes them through a series of dangerous encounters, with ninja and assassins hunting them and a surprising royal figure crossing their path. Along the way the three must rely on one another, despite clashing temperaments and motives. This opening volume is full of fights, close calls and growing loyalty, and it carries a streak of humor throughout.
