When dreams come true, they often herald the start of a nightmare.
Kanno Sakamoto, billionaire, yakuza and fantasist, returns in a tale of murder, revenge and political skullduggery.
Having been released from the institution on the orders of Oishi Noburu, the leader of one of Tokyo's most notorious clans, Kanno finds himself at the mercy of the Oyabun, his devious son, Katashi — and the brutal enforcer, Kawai.
Not only is he expected to marry the boss's daughter, he is press-ganged into running for the post of governor in the prefectural elections.
Initially viewing the plot as an opportunity to get back at his former brotherhood, the Tatakai-gumi and their charismatic leader, Kazuo Kurosawa, he soon realises that his life is heading dangerously out of control.
Can he escape the clutches of the Noburu-ya men? And will the return of his beloved Hyung mean salvation — or a descent into further insanity?
In this, the sequel to both The Gangster and the Samurai and Money, Bullets and Swag, Katsura and Yuramei present one of their most popular, yet challenging characters, in another dark, but often humorous story. Peppered with a healthy amount of passion and intrigue, The Soldier and the Samurai is a must for fans of Kanno's unique narrative style.
Contains explicit sex and graphic violence.
