Togari (Manga) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Togari - The Sword of Justice is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshinori Natsume. The story follows orphan Tobei, who was beheaded for committing countless crimes in the Edo period and sent to Hell where he suffered for 300 years. The regent of Hell makes Tobei an offer to slay 108 "Togas" (spiritual manifestations of sin) in 108 days in 21st-century Japan with Togari, a magical sword. Tobei readily agrees for the chance to be free from Hell. The manga was serialised in Shogakukan's Weekly Sh nen Sunday from 2000 to 2002, ending the series prematurely at 68 chapters. The individual chapters were published into 8 tank bon volumes with no solid ending. The abrupt ending was intentional as the last four pages of volume 8 has a spoof advertisement for "Togari: The Perfect Edition." Then the publishers apologises for the spoof the last page of the volume. The manga is licensed in North America by Viz Media and in France by Delcourt.
