(comment) Ken Tsukikage, now known as a master of period pieces and sensuality, originally debuted with Westerns and was a manga artist who specialized in the world of "blood and gunpowder." The story is about a young man whose mother is killed by outlaws, leaving him alone: he grows into a gunslinger under another outlaw, and in the end the person he shoots turns out to be his father, who was actually alive. In just 31 pages it packs a movie-worthy structure of beginning, development, turn, and conclusion. The young protagonist chooses at the end to step out of the cycle that creates outlaws, a work typical of Ken Tsukikage, filled with a sense of impermanence in human affairs (Yamatani).
