Blade of the Immortal Shortcut - A graphic novel by Hiroaki Samura, featuring the acclaimed manga series that has won numerous international awards including the Eisner Award in America and the prestigious Media Arts Award of Japan.
As Rin frets over her bodyguard Manji's disappearance, she is surprised by the arrival of two traveling warriors—the feisty, headstrong Doa Yoshino and her huge, brutish companion, Isaku Yasono-okami. Rin quickly regrets her decision to let this strange couple stay with her, but her detective work just points to the stronghold of Habaki Kagimura to search for Manji. Meanwhile, Kagimura's medical examiners begin to test the seemingly immortal Manji, who is imprisoned, chained, and a very unwilling toy in their merciless hands.
Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal takes period samurai with action and deftly combines it with a modernist street idiom to create a style and mood like no other work of graphic fiction. This book collects issues one hundred six through one hundred eleven of the comic-book series Blade of the Immortal.
