According to a statement from series author Satoru Noda, Golden Kamuy, a historical adventure manga following rival groups of rogues searching for a hidden cache of Ainu gold in early 20th century Japan, has reached its climax and is heading toward the final chapter.
Although exactly how many chapters remain has not yet been revealed, in the statement Noda thanked fans for following Golden Kamuy, which has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump seinen manga magazine since August of 2014.
But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it!
