Rasputin the Patriot 01

Sale price€15,00

Yuki Mamoru, nicknamed "The Rasputin of the Foreign Ministry", is arrested by the Special Investigation Department of the Tokyo Prosecutor's Office. The only diplomat capable of establishing relations with the leaders of the Soviet Union, as well as one of those who spent the most on the restitution of the northern islands, remains involved in a "national investigation": on what charge? Based on the true story of the former diplomat Masaru Sato, this manga tells of his courageous tug-of-war with the prosecutor who, thanks to his belonging to a privileged class, is determined to condemn him by any means, shedding light on some events and key figures that determined the outcomes of a piece of history from our recent past. Claustrophobic atmospheres and grotesque situations stand out on "photographs" of the time reproduced by the expert pencils of Junji Ito, an author already dear to the pages of Umami.
