Satoru Noda has a real talent for messing with your emotions. Just when you think you’ve figured out who to trust or root for, he throws everything into question. We’ve known for a while that there’s so much we don’t fully understand about Asirpa’s father, Wilk. But it’s easy to overlook how little we actually know about Tsurumi too. What’s driving him? What’s his real goal? Up until now, we’ve only had hints, but the new revelations in this volume completely shook my perspective. Honestly, I don’t even know who I’m rooting for anymore.

What keeps this volume engaging is the way it blends heavy, emotional themes with just the right amount of comic relief. I had a good laugh on some moments which gave a nice breather from all that intensity. 

With only a few volumes left, Noda is clearly building toward something big, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

This comic includes a high octane horse/car chase every bit as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, an incredible examination of personal and revolutionary politics, nation building and cultural preservation and tactics and beliefs and all that good shit, and finally one of the best sight gags in manga history.

Golden Kamuy is probably the best manga series of all time.

koliko mi se digao pritisak i adrenalin dok sam ovo čitala bukvalno šta koji đavo

tsurumi apsolutno jedan od najikoničnijih antagonista ikad ovo je toliko brutalno napisano

Oh, man, the weight on Asirpa’s shoulders just continues to get heavier. And Tsurumi is laying it on thick. It’s hard to judge what is the right answer, who should get the gold, because it is not a black or white situation.

The entire “interrogation” sequence was incredibly chilling. Tsurumi’s quietly unhinged demeanor colors everything with a degree of unpredictability. Super well done with the tension there!!
