Sanctuary Part 4

In the mid-1990s, Viz Media brought Sho Fumimura and Ryoichi Ikegami’s gritty crime epic to its conclusion with Sanctuary Part 4, a seven-issue series. Following the story of two childhood friends who rise through the corrupt worlds of politics and the yakuza, this installment was translated and adapted by Matt Thorn with art assists from Mary Kelleher. It stands as the final chapter of a landmark manga that helped define the mature, cinematic storytelling Viz was bringing to English-language readers at the time.
