Lord (Japanese: 覇 -LORD-, Hepburn: Ha Rōdo; "Hegemon -Lord-") is a Japanese manga series written by Buronson and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Superior from September 2004 to February 2011, with its chapters collected in 22 tankōbon volumes.
