Have you read this? want to / read some / read all

Alternative title:
A Lenda de Kamui (Portuguese)
Kamui Gaiden (Japanese)
カムイ外伝 (Japanese)
Genres: action, drama
Themes: historical, ninja
Plot Summary: The rogue ninja Kamui is struggling to free himself from the iron fist of his own clan. As a rounin, he should not exist. In his flight from his clan he meets another apostate ninja, a woman named Sugaru. Sugaru, wanting only to live in peace, is very distrustful. Her paranoia is shown to be justified. The manga covers Kamui's struggle to leave his past behind and Sugaru's failure to do the same. This is not a happy story, but rather touching dispite it.
