Viz Media holds the English license for the manga release of Golden Kamuy, and they describe the series’ story as such:
“In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi “Immortal” Sugimoto scratches out a meager existence during the postwar gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it! Faced with the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck—and the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa—to survive.”
Golden Kamuy is a manga series written by Satoru Noda. It was first launched in 2014 in Shueisha’s Young Jump magazine, with 23 compiled volumes released so far.
