Blade of the Immortal Omnibus Volume 1 Paperback – January 10, 2017

Stellar. Gorgeous. Fantastic. Samura’s blood-drenched classic is a visual feast, full of memorable characters, exotic weapons, and gruesome, over-the-top moments of violence. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, this affordable omnibus is easily the best way* to see what it’s all about.Note: While it’s a bit of a shame that the series isn’t presented in manga’s traditional right-to-left format, there is no English-language version of the comic available that presents it the Japanese way (and I don’t suspect one will be available anytime soon), and Dark Horse HAS gone through painstaking effort to preserve Samura’s original artwork in this left-to-right presentation.*Tip: If you’re still on the fence, check out the new anime on Amazon Video. As of now (12/20/19), there haven’t been very many episodes released, but it is another great way for newcomers to get into the series or for existing fans to revisit it.Tip 2: I would suggest skipping the other adaptations (another anime from 2008 and a live-action movie, directed by Takashi Miike) unless you’re already a fan of the series.

When I read the book, it was just as exciting as the live action film that I have seen on my television. The quality of the book is fascinating 👌. The story is excellent.

Art was incredible. Great story line. Lots of action. Plan to read the rest

After watching the entire series on Prime Video I found out abut these books and decided to just try it out. I don't usually read graphic novels or manga but after reading through this I found there is soooo much more to the story and the characters!I only put the book down once during my reading and it was to order the next 3 books solely because of the detail in the artwork and the advancement given to the characters. The character development in the written series surpasses what I thought it would have been and I'm so happy to say that!

I regretted buying this when I started reading it because it was confusing it would go from past 2 present without saying so and that made it confusing. But!!!!! After the 1st 3 chapters it got easier to read and understand and ITS GOOD!!! GONNA GET BOOK 2 ALREADY only down part besides the beginning is that it's hard 2 tell what's happening in some of the action scenes...THIS BOOK IS A BUY THOUGH

The art in this manga is fantastic and flows really well. The story follows the main character helping a girl get revenge and while that might sound like your generic revenge story, here its done really well.

Amazing edition for those who never had the chance to collect a physical copy, the book is printed in a nice format size, and while it lacks a hard cover format, is still an outstanding print for the fans of the series. I've already had books 1 and 2, but this edition is so cheap that I didn't mind paying the price, since most of the single issues that I still own are in bad shape..

The story keeps you going for sure
