It took me a bit to recover from the excitement of Otakon, but I'm back to deliver yet another Old School Month! Let's start with an obscure little treasure from my own personal collection.
REBEL SWORD (Kurd no Hoshi), by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. First published in 1985 and first published in North America in 1994.
PLOT:
Jiro is a half-Turkish, half-Japanese boy who hasn't seen his parents in years since they disappeared somewhere in Turkey. Out of the blue, he gets a letter from his mother urging him to come to Istanbul. What Jiro finds is a strange man and a strung-out belly dancer claiming to be his mother, but that's the least of his worries once the military show up.
