Golden Kamuy TV anime has proved a popular new series despite debuting during a crowded, Spring 2018 anime season. News that the show is a spilt-cour (shows that air during one anime season, take a break during the following season and then resume in the next season) and will resume in October is welcome information for its many anime fans.
VIZ Media currently holds the North American manga license, while it is currently serialized in Shuiesha's Weekly Young Jump over in Japan. To date, there have been 14 volumes of the ongoing title released, which began back in August 2014.
Golden Kamuy currently has a 7.68 score on MAL and ranks 12/72 anime titles currently airing this Spring.

During his hunt of gold, he finds hints of a hidden stash of gold by corrupt criminals.
