Summary: AMAZING
Review: This is a beautiful manga. It is very interesting and the art is spectacular. It has a pencil sketched quality to it and is very unique. The plot is also one of the best I've ever read. . This may be a manga for guys but that doesn't mean that females can't enjoy this as well. The fight scenes are detailed (though sometimes confusing with the sketch pictures) and really fun to read. WARNING Blade of the Immortal is about a guy that is....umm....immortal. That means he won't die. That means the bad guys are gonna do all in their power to kill him, slash him, decapitate him, stab him and so forth. VERY GORY is what I'm getting at. The story is basically about Manji who had these worms put in him that make you immortal. They won't go away until he atones for his sins of killing 100 of the good guys (self defense I swear) by killing a thousand bad guys. He meets Rin who needs his help to avenge her parents who were murdered right before her eyes. The thing that really holds this series together are the characters. Even the ones that are supposedly evil u find are not really evil but human. You almost don't want them to fight and get killed by the main guy, but then again u do because they are responsible for something horrible. You also feel immediately at home with nearly every other character introduced even after only a couple of pages. This book Volume two, Cry of the Worm is my personal favorite. It was at my public library and the first I ever read of this great series. Rin finds a sword that once belonged to her father being owned by some (really cool, kinda looks like Vagita from DBZ only more realistic looking) samurai and she'll do anything to get it back. Later on they meet up with another immortal guy who wants Manji dead and being immortal himself he knows just the thing to do Manji in.

Summary: A Ronin/Yojimbo Story That's a Cut Above
Review: This is actually the first volume in the saga of Manji and Rin that I picked up (I couldn't find the first volume!) and I was floored. The art is spectacular, the plot and charaters inventive, and the overall feel of the work is one of a kind of nervous ease. Well worked! As a big fan of the samurai, I automatically wished to pick up this manga and read it. Though it is gratuitously bloody (hench only a 4-star rating), the entire sage is ultimately entertaining and worthy of being named right along with Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell. Don't just stop at one volume. The story is very complex and keeps interweaving itself throughout. I can't wait for part V!

Summary: Truly thought provoking
Review: This is one of the best mangas ever written. With beautiful detailed artwork and a very deep storyline. Cry of the worm presents very important points in the world. Who protects the little people, is it truly great to be immortal, and what is the value of life?In the first half Rin discovers the owner of a sword that was stolen from her father's dojo and Manji means to get it back, but can he take it from one of the best sword fighters the Itto-ryu has. In the second half Manji meets up with another Immortal. Shizuma Eiku of the Itto-ryu. And he has a very important question for Manji.

Summary: An awesome story with fantastic art
Review: This is part 2 of a story of an immortal samurai who must kill 1,000 evil men to atone for his past sins. In order to facilitate his task he joins up with a young girl who is bent on avenging her dead family. Together they fight and kill each one of the Itto-Ryu, the men who killed the young girl's family. This manga is one of the best. I didn't like this series much until I read Cry of the Worm. The artwork is fantastic and the death scenes are awesome. Also all the weapons in it are really cool. If you get the first book, Blood of a Thousand, be sure to get this one too. I'm writing this because the other person gave it four stars. it's really a five.

Summary: Terrific plot!
Review: This was the first manga I got.I found it while roaming the isles at Barnes & Noble aimlessly, wondering what to buy.I spotted it and was immediately sucked in.This book started me on my journey into the world of manga, where I proceeded to purchase two other books in this series, the Battle Angel series, the first five books of X/1999, Fushigi Yuugi, Magic Knights Rayearth and Sailor Moon.This has got to be one of the best I own.Sailor Moon and Magic Knights are somehow almost inferior compared to this.The plot is excellent.It is truly thought-provoking.This is one that you MUST own!
