Bakune Young, Vol. 1

Pulp graphic novel
Volume 1
Story & Art by Toyokazu Matsunaga

YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?
The most bizarre title in PULP is now available on its own! When mole- headed high school dropout Bakune Shoichi kidnaps the Don of Nippon for a 100 trillion yen ransom, he unleashes a chain of bloodshed like nothing Japan has ever seen. "Stunning line work and page compositions (which) border on psychosis," says TheComicStore.com.

IN THIS VOLUME:
It started with a brutal beating at a pachinko parlor, and now Bakune Young-maniac, moron or mastermind -- has taken Japan's biggest crime boss as a hostage as Step One of his plan to rule the world! Soon, yakuza, police, hapless detectives and Bakune's former gym teacher collide as Bakune holes up with his hostage in Osaka Castle, and the manly men of the Japanese mob vow to do anything to rescue their boss! Can Russian-roulette-playing police chief Sorigami salvage the situation with his highly trained army of human robots? Will Johnson Membodeath, the ninja, stop the madness by killing everyone in sight? Savage satire of the action-violence manga genre!

This graphic novel brutally smashes the BAKUNE YOUNG installments from PULP Vol. 3, No. 9 through Vol. 4, No.6 into one battered volume.
