Gin Tama, Vol. 13

It’s samurai vs. aliens!

The samurai didn’t stand a chance. First, the aliens invaded Japan. Next, they took all the jobs. And then they confiscated everyone’s swords. So what does a hotheaded former samurai like Gintoki ＂Gin＂ Sakata do to make ends meet? Take any odd job that comes his way, even if it means losing his dignity.

Gin’s Street Fighting Lessons Learned (Top 5)
1. Frontal wedgies are extremely effective.
2. Girls hit a lot harder the more innocent

3. Only morons start fights in the Ninja Bar.
Yeah, only morons...
4. Using a bazooka is cheating (but it sure
settles things quickly).
5. No one hits harder than Shinpachi’s
sister Otae when she’s riled.

Hideaki Sorachi was born on May 25, 1979 and grew up in Hokkaido, Japan. His ongoing series, GIN TAMA, became a huge hit when it began running in the pages of Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2004.
