Blade of the Immortal Volume 14

Description

Rin has spent countless days chasing the murderer of her parents, and now she has Anotsu Kagehisa where she wants him, but the deathly ill Anotsu is too sick for the honor-bound Rin to strike down. But such is not the case for the students of the Shingyötö-ryü, who are out to avenge the death of their sword master, and they have Rin captured and Anotsu cornered. The spirit of revenge is thick in the air - and about to get thicker as Manji, Rin's immortal bodyguard, finally reunites with his charge as this pot of retribution prepares to boil over. And so Manji's faced with a strange irony - to save Rin, he must cut down the men who are out to kill Anotsu, Manji's sworn enemy! 256 Pages.

Blade of the Immortal combines samurai action, superb storyline and unique artwork that captures the intricate character designs and backgrounds. Hiroaki Samura's tale of an immortal samurai, Manji, on his quest of killing 1,000 evil men is definitely not for the faint of heart. Even with all the blood and guts spilled, you definitely have to appreciate the life-like and uniquely-detailed artwork of Hiroaki Samura. The Blade of the Immortal anime idea was solicited to Samura and was ultimately rejected. Samura believes that his art and special style would not translate well if it was to be animated. Blade of the Immortal fans all agree that his unique style is one of a kind that is not to be duplicated.
