This is it, the penultimate chapter of this 1,500 page mountain climbing epic scripted by Yumemakura Baku and impeccably rendered by the master of natural adventure manga, Jiro Taniguchi.  Back in the day, in the intro to literature class, one of the first lessons was that there are three types of dramatic narrative:  man vs. man; man vs. nature; and man vs. himself*.  Well, we're here to tell you that The Summit of the Gods has all three, as the lead protagonists battle the mountains, rivals and their own fears and doubts on their way to "the summit of the gods."  *(nowadays they likely have a more gender neutral way of phrasing this)
