Also known as: 水滸伝, さいとう たかを, 水滸傳, Water Margin, Outlaws of The Marsh, All men are Brothers

by Takao Saitou

Adaptation of the classic Chinese novel by the same name. The story, set in the Song dynasty, tells of how a group of 108 outlaws gathers at Mount Liang (or Liangshan Marsh) to form a sizable army before they are eventually granted amnesty by the government and sent on campaigns to resist foreign invaders and suppress rebel forces. It has introduced to readers many of the most well known characters in Chinese literature, such as Wu Song, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen.
