Modern Legends of Judo Chivalry

This is the third installment of the series following "Showa Jyukyoden" by Baron Yoshimoto, who is well known for the "Jyukyoden" series. The protagonist is Yanagi Kanichi, the third generation of the Yanagi family, the son of Yanagi Kantaro (needless to say, the protagonist of Showa Jyukyoden). This first volume focuses on the young boy Kanichi, who lives cheerfully, brightly and strongly in the turbulent and chaotic postwar era. The time of the "burnt-out black market" just after the war is a long time ago, but as expected from Baron, this work also gets you excited with its accurate historical research and brilliant story development. Since the work itself is long, this first volume focuses on the story of the young boy Kanichi, who lives bravely in the "burnt-out black market" era, but the strong and moving feeling after reading it makes you reach for the second volume as well.
