Kozure Ookami

Ittou Ogami has little reason to live. Once the Shogunate's chief executioner, his reputation is destroyed after being framed for treason by the scheming Yagyuu Clan, who covet his position of power. His misfortune reaches its peak in the brutal murder of his entire family, including his wife Azami, leaving only his son Daigorou alive. With dishonor on his name and his beloved wife dead, Ittou takes on a new role as a hired assassin. Traveling the country with his young child, he seeks revenge, his mind fixed solely on the complete annihilation of the Yagyuu Clan. As he journeys across the land, his successful assassinations multiply rapidly, and soon the name "Lone Wolf and Cub" becomes notorious as the top assassin for hire.

Each issue contained around 64 to 128 pages, but publication was canceled at 45 issues after the company's shutdown in 1991.
