Mr. Akinsiku, who goes by the pen name of Siku, grew up in England and Nigeria. He says his Son of God is “a samurai stranger who’s come to town, in silhouette,” here to shake things up in a new, much-abridged version of the Bible rooted in manga.The author of “The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation says that “Christ is a hard guy, seeking revolution and revolt, a tough guy.”
