Togari

In this 2007–2008 Viz series, a supernatural ronin named Tobe is granted a second chance at redemption by the gods, tasked with slaying one evil spirit per day using a mystical sword called the Togari. Across its eight-issue run, artist and writer Yoshinori Natsume blends feudal Japanese folklore with gritty, modern action, delivering a compact tale of atonement and violence. The series stands out for its stark, kinetic artwork and its concise, high-stakes premise, making it a memorable entry in Viz’s mid-2000s manga lineup.
