Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru Gaiden: Ryū Soken no Kiseki #3

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru Gaiden: Ryū Soken no Kiseki is a spin-off series derived from the popular light novel and manga franchise written by Shigeru Sagazaki.

The visual style remains consistent with the established aesthetic of the series, emphasizing detailed depictions of combat and the rugged, unpretentious nature of the protagonist. Like many publications in this series, its release was facilitated through digital and print serialization channels in Japan, garnering a steady following among fans of the original work.
