The final showdown for the legendary yokai! In the seventh volume
of Shigeru Mizuki's defining series, our beloved hero Kitaro stands
accused of exposing the secret yokai world on television. He is put
on trial for crimes against yokai. Witnesses are called from both
sides, but when Nezumi Otoko takes the stand, all bets are off.
Will Nezumi Otoko be for Kitaro or against him? Only the biggest
bribe will tell! The Trial of Kitaro features five bizarre and
amusing adventures. In every story, Kitaro has his hands full. He
faces off against Kasha, a vicious demon cat; tries to quell a
magical cooking pot; battes a sea monster; and solves the mystery
of a three-eyed bird. This volume features comics from the late
1960s, which was the golden age of GeGeGe no Kitaro. These stories
appear in English for the first time in a kid-friendly edition,
with translations by the Mizuki scholar and series translator Zack
Davisson. The Trial of Kitaro also concludes Davisson's "History of
Kitaro" essay and offers another round of "Yokai Files," which
introduce the folklore of Japan's monsters and supernatural beings.
This final volume of Mizuki's renowned Kitaro series is not to be
missed!
