Issak is a historical manga set during the Thirty Years War. It follows Issak, a Japanese mercenary, who travels to Europe in search of revenge. This is definitely an unusual setting for a manga, but I thought the story and art style worked really well together. I will be interested to continue reading this series. I am especially curious to see Zetta if will continue to be a major character in future volumes.

This Omnibus will be the first print edition of Issak available in English. I received an ARC from Kodansha Comics in exchange for an honest review.

I want to say thank you for being able to read the first volume of this story. I am intrigued to read volume 2 to find out what happens with Issak and the soldiers that attacked him on his journey back to the castle. I thought the art was nicely done for the story, very appealing to the eyes, especially the full-color pages in the very beginning. I do hope that Zetta is someone who becomes important to the story, someone who helps Issak along the way.

A manga set during the 100 Years war and I really enjoyed it. The art work was fantastic and the action scenes were top tier. The thing that brought this down a star is because some of the scene changes were really jarring and the scene placements were off on the digital version.

Such a great story!
There are not a lot of graphic novels regarding this period of time in history, so this was a great surprise. I thought this would be related to a samurai, I could have never imagined it's about a marksman. I need to read the next volume!
