I havn't seen much of this manga, but what I have seen from it, I like alot. One of the better mangas out there too.

Another good manga I've been looking into is Vagabond.

[cetamora]

Yea.. Vagabond and Blade are the best of their kind.. kind of sad when you've read em and everything else is not as good as them :/

Oh and it is one of these mangas that grows by time. I was quite unsure about it for almost 4-5 volumes but you can't quit, and after a while it's absolutley awesome. Wierd that there isn't more ruckus about it..

[EndlessSky]

Not sure, maybe just not many people know about it (lack of publicity) or that it is more adult oriented.

i see it!!! the drawing when battle is interesting and nice but it might be boring sometime thou

[cetamora]

I dunno.. but I thought it was pretty unusual for a manga to have a own monthly magazine :/ So it would have many fans :p But hey ur still some huh!

Aah and I don't think it's boring :) The dialogs and the background stories are all very intresting.. and the story is harsh so it's hard to predict who is gonna live and die. Although I think the prison-arc is a bit lengthy, but historicaly intresting. And the art is getting better and better. Realy like the "new" characters introduced in the itto-ryu.. the future for this manga looks veeery bright!

[EndlessSky]

Well, I know a few fans of Blade of the Immortal and Vagabond over at the Berserk oriented forums I'm on. I think it sells pretty good over at Dark House comics too.

I think its just not many people at all on these forums know or read it or anything. This seems to be a younger crowd as well.

[cetamora]

Yea.. well it's a seinen-manga :/ Well better keep this thread alive so more people can notice it! Yes I'm talking to YOU mr forum-reader,, :D get this manga!

[Lust]

i did,the story is ok and bout that girl want revenge is ridiculous since killing for revenge cant bring back his father back to life

[cetamora]

Well.. I don't know how much you've read but the manga is aware of this,, and there will be some realy awkward situations because of this.. poor poor rin

But seriously it's realy great,, the story isn't as that straightforwad as you think.

Here you go: http://www.isohunt.com/download/14651691/Blade+of+the+immortal


What I hear, most people say that it raises the bar after around ten volumes.. it sounds long but the way there is necessary and beutifull, so it's funfunfun for the whole family :D

Spoiler unless you've read far..

And the fact that she is spared by the man she wants to kill twice (atleast I think) and saves his life during his fever-outbreak _and_ that she in is now close friends (well relatively) with two peeps from the itto. The last chap I read was when they where swept away by the river. Real cliffhanger, gonna catch upp in a year or so, when there is a little more material :)

[EndlessSky]

I'll have to download that. The litte I've seen if I can remember was like he was in some house or shack or something and this guy like barges in and shoots him in the head and then he gets back up again like "God Damn! that hurt!", I loved that.

[cetamora]

Hehe I promise there will be plenty of moments when Manji will be chopped up and split in many many pieces.. \o/ graphic violence mm :D

[SLVR]

Look at how cool Magatsu looks http://www.gallerynucleus.com/bandaid/content/store/4/1149/print_cloonan_magatsu500.jpg

[Lust]

manji cant die,he been chop like in every single match XD lol

[EndlessSky]

Well, hes immortal :P.

[cetamora]

Well they have killed another immortal dude.. so if his head was cut of and his body burnt,, then he would definitely die.

And to survive for yourself is not the only thing that matters.. to protect the ones you care for isn't something that is accomplished just by being immortal urself :)
