A ronin seeks for redemption in a mechanized medieval Japan.

Twelve years ago, Kitsunichi Shimitsu was banished by his daimyo because of his role in a conspiracy. Now that his master is no longer alive, his homeland has descended into chaos due to the incompetence of the young daimyo to rule.
Our hero, accompanied by his friend Karamatsuki Yamanouchi, has returned home to set things right but his efforts unveil the most horrible of truths—the chaos enveloping his homeland has been instigated by his long-lost, son Hirotaro Shimitzu!
Will Kitsunichi be able to redeem himself and perhaps save his son? What other disturbing truths will he discover along his journey? Nothing is like it seems in Kitsune!

Quote from the creators:
Luca Frigerio — “Kitzune has a great importance: it is the first comic I did with Emanuele and it is also the first comic I published in America. I am very happy that it is published by Scout Comics because I consider them to be one of the most vital and interesting entities in the comics scene.”
Emanuele Ercolani — “I am so thrilled! I am drawing samurai foxes!! Wooo-hoooo!”
