Part of the Myths and Legends Series, Shirato tackles the tale of Pentheus, as well as others of his bloodline, such as Europa and Cadmus. Europa, daughter of the Phoenician King Agenor, is abducted by Zeus as part of a ploy to take down the Python. Cadmus, her brother, searches far and wide for her, and eventually reaches the literal ends of the earth. Fate has more in store, for him, however, as the interests of gods and men intertwine throughout his family, until it reaches his ill-fated grandson, Pentheus - who threatens to go against what his lineage has built up, and stood for. Also includes Shirato's adaptation of the tale of Caeneus​, the woman who transformed into a man impervious to weapons, never to be raped again by another man.

It’s the 17th century in Japan. Child outcast Kamui lives on the fringes of a miserably stratified society. Fueled by pure grit, rage, and a dash of cunning, his only way out is to take up the mantle of ninja. Follow scrappy peasants, cold-blooded ninja, and warriors both disgraced and exalted as they navigate the unforgiving hardships of a violent yet hopeful age. With its vivid and critical attention to social injustice and environmental issues against a backdrop of heart-pounding action and romance, this multilayered gekiga drama not only redefined ninja and samurai fantasy, it also offers astonishing parallels with the modern day.

In medieval Japan, the feudal lord Nobuhira reigns as an authentic tyrant over his domain, carrying out all kinds of abuses on the peasants. He kills some for fun, to test the effectiveness of his sword blade and to generate a climate of terror that drives other farmers into blind obedience. These, increasingly reduced to starvation, are forced to pay higher and higher taxes in rice, extorted from them through coercive methods, the kidnapping of women or the taking of hostages but all their attempts to revolt are suffocated in blood in the bud. One day, however, a crippled monk makes his appearance in those lands, who attributes those nefarious events to the curse of the venerable akame, who are actually very normal rabbits, the main food of the local population. The rabbits thus become the object of the veneration of the peasants, who invoke their protection, which however is not frowned upon by the feudal lord. (Source: Hazard Edizioni, translated)
