Lone Wolf and Cub

子連れ狼

Kozure Ookami

Daigoro rides in a baby cart while his father kills for money. That father is Ogami Itto, once the shogun's official executioner in eighteenth-century Japan. The Yagyu clan wanted his post, so its agents murdered his wife and framed him as a traitor. Ordered to take his own life, Itto refused and fled with his infant son. Now the two of them work as assassins for hire, and Itto has sworn to destroy the Yagyu. Most stories stand on their own with a fresh cast around the two leads. Goseki Kojima's art is cinematic and the sword fights are bloody. Rape, nudity and suicide all appear. The series even gave its name to a trope about a lone fighter guarding a child. It suits patient adult readers who want samurai drama.
