Yasuke

Manga with Colored Cover Page

By Epic Dope Staff | July 29, 2021

Yasuke, the anime depicting an Afro-Asian samurai, had attracted considerable attention when it was released by Netflix.

The anime Yasuke is back with a manga adaptation by Satoshi Okunishi in the Monthly Spirits issue, and a new colored cover page has been revealed as well!

The visual features a bright red stroke behind Yasuke which reminds me of Ouroboros with the snake-like face almost touching its tail.

The anime streamed on Netflix in April with a brilliant storyline! The animation studio MAPPA gave life to the project while LeSean Thomas directed it.

I know that most of us can’t tame our excitement and so I’d suggest you watch the anime if you haven’t already while waiting for the Monthly Spirits issue!
