Japan has become a land of warriors, warlords and assassins, where the
technology of the future exits alongside the brutal traditions of the
past. This world is ruled by whoever possesses the legendary No.1
headband.
When the boy Afro Samurai's father, Rokutaro, is challenged as No.1 and
killed by the No.2, a lethal outlaw known as Justice, he swears revenge,
starting on a bloody path of retribution that will make him the No.2
warrior and allow him to challenge Justice.

In the first of two volumes, we see the beginnings of young Afro's
quest, his battles with an array of assassins and warlords, that
climaxes in the epic confrontation with the powerful Empty Seven Clan
and a showdown with an old enemy...
Volume 2:
After having defeated the Empty Seven Clan, Afro is forced to face a new
threat: a deadly warrior who wears a teddy mask called Jinno. Will his
bloodthirsty campaign of vengeance be thwarted, or will he finally face
Justice and claim the number one headband?
