Spotlight on Kamudo:

From the visionaries who brought The Legend of Zelda to manga comes a bold new saga. Set in the mythical realm of Hinoaruchi, Kamudo blends mythology, philosophy, and breathtaking adventure in a sweeping tale that reimagines the boundaries of manga storytelling.

At the heart of the story is Kamuna, a half-human, half-dragon child destined to challenge the ancient balance of his world. With demi-dragons, spiritual gateways, and the force of Prana sustaining all life, Kamudo is a spellbinding tale of acceptance, prophecy, and survival—wrapped in Akira Himekawa’s legendary artistic style.

In the utopian nation of Ryujinkyo, Kamuna—a boy born with the form of a human and the left hand of a dragon—grapples with his identity in a society that both questions and fears his existence. As he begins his training in the ancient art of ryuken, his determination to prove himself fuels a growing rivalry with the fierce demi-dragon Gindu. Meanwhile, tensions simmer beneath the surface as factions outside Ryujinkyo grow restless, seeking to control the divine pulse that sustains the land…
