Blade of the Immortal Volume 18: The Sparrow Net (Blade of the Immortal (Graphic Novels)) (v. 18)
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2008
Blade of the Immortal gets back on track
Best volume in a while. The last volume felt more like filler with such a focus on the Manji experiment. This volume is longer and has a bit of everything with something for everyone. There is a focus on Rin and Doa with some of her and Isaku's backstory. The artwork is excellent as always and ...

Blade of the Immortal Volume 17: On the Perfection of Anatomy (Blade of the Immortal (Graphic Novels)) (v. 17)
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2007
whatever happens in there, it will always be way above all the other mangas
+ A bloody pause
What the hell
Blade Of The Immortal is so darn good
There may be less action in this one but it's so twisted and spooky... it's fantastic
Unwholesome and sick, highly sadistic moments
a delight
every single Blade Of The Immortal is an absolute must-have
so just f***ing buy it

Blade Of The Immortal Volume 15: Trickster (Blade of the Immortal (Graphic Novels))
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2006
If I didn't think it deserved a 5, I wouldn't keep buying them
This is a great series. Violent manga is not usually my bag, but Samura makes it so darn beautiful. I was lured by the art, but got hooked on the characters. It's pulp fiction in feudal Japan. It's a good read with plenty of spreads to really linger on and soak up. I'm a little disturbed by some of ...

Blade of the Immortal: The Gathering part 2, Volume 9
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2001
Terrific volume!
+ The Unkindest Cuts
+ must have
The only problem I can see in this volume is the fight at the beginning. It is a little hard to read. The panels don't seem flipped right in a few instances. Manji, though, fights his toughest opponent yet. There are quite a few badguys in the itto-ryu that have a reputation besides Anotsu. Higa is ...

Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2008
A massive, 280-page volume brings readers back into the "Badger Hole" with Rin and Doa, as they make some shocking discoveries and finally find their missing companions! When Rin bumps into Toraemon, the unfortunate assistant to crazy Doc Burando and witness to his disgusting "immortality experiments," it seems that breaking Manji free will be a breeze. Not so. Getting Manji out of Edo's ...

Hiroaki Samura

Everything changes after this...

+ Dark Shadows are just the beginning of the Darkness to come.
+ The story widens in scope, and the plot thickens

Blade Of The Immortal Volume 14: Last Blood (Blade of the Immortal (Graphic Novels)) (v. 14)
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse, 2005
Finally, the story's back on track!
+ Sotry arc climax
+ This series F-ing ROCKS!
Last Blood is Volume 14 in Mr. Samura's revenge-quest manga, Blade of the Immortal. While there are some genuinely funny and sweet moments (the laughs and awws provided by Magatsu and Rin, respectively), the overall tone of this volume is dark and tense but NOT depressing. Anotsu has been ...

A few questions.
+ Awsome story and amazing art
+ The ongoing tale of Rin and her body guard.
What does Hyakurin's unborn child signify for Giichi?
How's Rin's babysitting of the uncontrollable Doa coming along?
Who's this strikingly handsome/lively/perverse nobleman Sakura?
Ozuhan, is he the deadliest/funniest warrior ever to grace this series?
The answer to the last one is yes.
