Inu no Seikatsu (MATSUMOTO Jiro) Manhua

In the heart of a secluded village in Feudal Japan, the air was thick with tension as rumors of a mysterious wolf prowling the forests spread like wildfire. The villagers, gripped by fear and suspicion, turned to their young samurai, Kenshin, for protection. One fateful night, Kenshin encountered the wounded wolf, its eyes reflecting the moonlight in a haunting plea for mercy. Against his samurai code, he hesitated, unable to deliver the final blow. Instead, he chose compassion, tending to the creature's wounds in secrecy. As the days passed, Kenshin and the wolf, whom he named Hikari, formed an unbreakable bond built on mutual trust and understanding. Through their silent exchanges, Kenshin found himself questioning the rigid traditions that had bound him for so long, learning lessons of empathy and sacrifice from his unlikely companion. But peace was short-lived as the village fell victim to a series of mysterious attacks, painting Hikari as the prime suspect. Faced with a choice between duty and loyalty, Kenshin embarked on a journey of self-discovery, unraveling the true nature of honor and compassion in a world wrought with turmoil. With each passing challenge, Kenshin's resolve was tested, his beliefs shaken to the core. In a battle against prejudice and fear, he must not only protect the village from an unknown threat but also safeguard the bond he shares with the very creature he once saw as an enemy. As the lines between friend and foe blur, Kenshin's path becomes clear - to forge his own destiny, embracing the teachings of his newfound companion and proving that sometimes, true strength lies in embracing the unknown and standing up against injustice, even in the face of adversity.
