Lone Wolf & Cub TV Series - Vol. 5 - 2-Disc Set (DVD)

Based on the legendary manga series of the same name, this rarely seen TV show was produced in the 1970s and stars Yorozuya Kinnosuke as the ronin devoted to avenging the murder of his wife and uncovering the betrayals of the Yagyu clan. While the original story and artwork by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima have been updated and adapted in a variety of formats, the TV series has long gone under the radar. Here the show is brought back to life, and the 10 episodes collected in this volume are a treat for devoted followers of the manga as well as anyone with a penchant for 1970s Japanese TV.
