Ninja Vs. Gokudo Vol. 03
Since before the dawn of memory, one thing has defined human history: the war between ninjas and yakuzas. This coarse and manly manga follows two members of these warring tribes who fill the gutters of modern Tokyo with blood to determine which elemental force will reign supreme!
An outrageous new action series, like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure meets Fist of the North Star!
Fueled by pride, driven by revenge
The yakuza declare their next battle against the ninja on Tokyo’s Teito Highway, the stomping grounds of Japan’s legendary biker gangs. With home field advantage, along with a fleet of 30,000 custom made cars, the yakuza seem invincible. In comparison, the five-member ninja team have a herculean challenge, but they’ve got overwhelming powers of their own. Can they avoid being roadkill and eradicate the evil causing the deadly pileup?
Massacre up ahead on the expressway of hell!

Title Notes:
This tongue-so-far-in-cheek-it-stabs-through-to-the-other-side manga pits ninjas against yakuzas in a centuries-long war for supremacy.

This is Kodansha’s answer to the success of Bloody it may be, but it’s all in good fun, and it never gets too explicit or dark.
