New To No Need For Bushido?
Welcome to No Need for Bushido. If you want to get right to the comic, start here.
Or click on some of the images below to skip to different pages in the archive.

   

Who makes NNFB?
The comic is drawn by Alex Kolesar and written by Joseph Kovell.

Where's the comic?
You probably found this section on our main page. At the top of the page click on the button that says "newest page" and you'll be at the last page uploaded.

What's No Need for Bushido about?
NNFB is an action-comedy-drama that takes place in war-torn Feudal Japan. The story jumps between many different characters, but focuses on a small group of travelers who get caught up in the ensuing war. This group includes a runaway princess avoiding an arranged marriage, a foolish samurai, a blind taoist priest, and a hotheaded drunk with an excessively large sword.

Where should I start?
NNFB is a story-based comic. The newest page will make absolutely no sense without reading what comes before it. So, it's best to start at our humble beginnings on page 1 and read on from there. You can get a basic plot summary and character descriptions by reading our Wikipedia page, or you can check out the comic timeline. These aren't very good substitutes for the comic itself, though.

What happened to the art/writing?
It got better. NNFB was our first comic endevor, so we've been learning the basics since page 1.

Is this anime/manga?
NNFB shares a lot of similarities with both anime as well as American comic books - so it's a little of both. You don't need to read anime to "get" NNFB.

When are new pages added?
NNFB updates one page every Monday. We update additional content (art, news posts, etc.) throughout the week.

Is that it?
Nope. In addition to the comic itself, there are quite a few other features on the site. At times, we will take old pages and completely rewrite them into one-off strips. These "Remixes” usually parody the comic, so you probably will want to read the main archive first.

We also have a subcomics section that contains two mini flash movies, a blog hosted by one of the comic's characters, bonus pages, a sketchbook and various filler comics from years ago.
