I don't like to write reviews for something that isn't finished, but since lots of people will wonder if they should read this because of the anime, the answer must be HELL YES!

Golden Kamui is a weird and unique manga in all aspects. It starts off like a classic treasure hunt, and remains a historical military adventure story at its core, but from one certain point onwards, the insanity and madness just skyrocket off of every possible chart. From a story about war veterans and ex-convincts struggling to survive and adjust into the new reality the war has left behind, all while exploring the culture of a certain tribe, and the way they live through nature (mainly through the cooking of the food they are producing as hunters), at some point Golden Kamui managed to be versatile and incorporate a ton of other genres into its story. Not only did it not fail at achieving something this complex, it doubled its appeal.

You have been warned: Golden Kamuy is not a series from the faint of the heart. The art is realistic and some REALLY messed up things just keep on happening. The more you get into it and you think that you've seen everything, something even more bizarre, creepy, disgusting or incredulous thing will pop up in no time. The comedy becomes stronger, the characters generally more likeable, and the plot twists come one after the other. Aside from the protagonistic duo, Sugimoto and Asirpa, there are no certain allies or enemies. Everybody jumps from one side to the other according to his/her own goals, good persons and bad persons alike.

To make you understand, there is a homage to Hitchcock's movie Psycho, Jojo references and a panel where the main characters sit like in Da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper". And these are just THE EXTREMELY LIGHT STUFF of the insanity that is Golden Kamuy! If you are someone who enjoys their manga with a great tone of violence, an intriguing plot and outrageous comedic situations alternating with serious stuff, this is the manga for you!
