The official website of publisher Kodansha has announced that an official English translation of Ryu Keiichiro’s manga series will be released in Fall 2025.

About The Magnificient Bastard: The Legend of Keiji:
Long before the Japan of today, there was a land riven by a century of war between hundreds of feudal lords. Standing astride, this most chaotic and storied era in Japanese history was a samurai unlike any other. Courageous, free-spirited, and peerless on the battlefield, Maeda Keiji had a bombastic style, a penchant for outrageous antics, and incredible feats of daring. Beloved by his friends, admired by his enemies, and utterly confounding to authority figures, he went out of his way to break every rule but —his warrior’s code.
