Spoiler-Free review


Prologue

I read the first 2 volumes of blade of the immortal 2 years ago.From the very beginning this seemed to me as a really great story,but as the time went by I almost forgot about it until last year during which I found and bought 8 more volumes.At that point i wanted to get all of them,but i couldnt find them so I finished it in digital form unfortunately.

Story : 9/10

Anyways ,Blade of the immortal is an amazing ,which provides the usual concept of revenge,but in a different manner that makes it look fresh,I'm pretty convinced that there were not any weaknesses in its story ,as it even made me actually understand and like the main antagonist's point of view and got me to even question the main characters' goal.The story is set in Japan during the mid-Tokugawa Shogunate period and follows the cursed samurai Manji, who has to kill 1000 evil men in order to make up for his past mistakes and the young Rin who is the girl that seeks the revenge that was previously mentioned.Also it is really important to mention that there are not bad and good guys as everyone seems to have their beliefs that are fighting for.

Art : 9/10

The art-style was pretty unique,as it differs from the usual art.The pages are well drawn and they are able to express the characters' feelings and depict their movement's speed ,which is really important in my point of view

Characters : 9/10
The characters are really intriguing and most people will think so too ,I believe.All of them have interesting backstories and hopefully they are neither underdeveloped nor forgotten by the ka . Each and every of them make readers form bonds with them ,which is something really remarkable when it comes to a story ,especially to such a long one as Blade of the Immortal.

Enjoyment : 9/10
Well the way I interpret enjoyment is probably the battles the story provides which are really good due to its art and bonds readers have with the characters. There were battles that I was like I do not want either of the two opponents die as I really understand their beliefs and could not decide who was right.The peaceful scenes were also really enjoyable due to the fact that they made you relax from the strong and harsh battlefields that you were shown.In addition those were the times when you met each characters personality even more ,while watching their way of living
Overall : 9/10
Blade of the Immortal is an amazing samurai tale which has to be known by more people than it already does.Its story,art and characters are something that is not easy to forget ,that's why I consider it such a magnificent .
