Summary

Gabimaru the Hollow is one of the most vicious assassins ever to come out of the ninja village of Iwagakure。 He’s ruthlessly efficient， but a betrayal results in him being handed a death sentence。 He has only one hope—in order to earn his freedom， he must travel to a long-hidden island and recover an elixir that will make the shogun immortal。 Failure is not an option。 On this island， heaven and hell are just a hair’s breadth away。

Good book plan read the series

Tyler ，

Really dig it so far。 Awesome opening volume

arjen k。 ，

this was pretty interesting！！

Hermoso， dibujo excelente， historia para nada cliché

Bella Azam ，

Love love the setting of this book。 Ninjas， assassin and samurai。 The characters are evil and obviously despicable but we follow Gabimaru， The Hollow as the prisoners were sent to an island to get an elixir of life。 But they are guarded by samurai or executioner who would kill them without mercy if they failed their mission。 Before that， the creatures that inhabit the island are so bizarre and creepy。 There is a lot of nudity and gore in this volume so beware。

I'm reading so much manga that I forget to keep track， and I'll see one that i've read on Goodreads and think "why doesn't that say read？"Anyway， this was amazing， would highly recommend to anyone and everyone。 I picked it up because I kept seeing it everywhere and it took like half a volume for me to become obsessed。 This is exactly the kind of manga I like。 And then I immediately tracked down and purchased all of the other volumes currently released in English。 I'm reading so much manga that I forget to keep track， and I'll see one that i've read on Goodreads and think "why doesn't that say read？"Anyway， this was amazing， would highly recommend to anyone and everyone。 I picked it up because I kept seeing it everywhere and it took like half a volume for me to become obsessed。 This is exactly the kind of manga I like。 And then I immediately tracked down and purchased all of the other volumes currently released in English。 。。。more

The themes and characters all have a special place in my heart。 Touched upon topics rarely discussed or presented in shonen manga， and I think that’s what made it stand out the most。 9。5/10

A great start to what I predict to be an amazing series。 Love the 2 lead characters and love the competition feel of the manga。 Excited to continue

No sabía que esperar de este manga。。。 sin duda esta muy bueno！！！

This was good and I love how complex the main character is。 I don't want to get my hopes up though with the MC and his relationship because I just have this feeling that it won't go the way I want。I can also see the fight scenes being so badass if it were to ever be animated。I can't wait to continue the series！ This was good and I love how complex the main character is。 I don't want to get my hopes up though with the MC and his relationship because I just have this feeling that it won't go the way I want。I can also see the fight scenes being so badass if it were to ever be animated。I can't wait to continue the series！ 。。。more

This took me by surprise。 I picked it up because I saw it on a list of manga that deserved an anime， and that was all it took for me to check it out。 I didn't know what it was about， but I had heard the name before; once I saw the cover for it， I was sold。 Bold art， gruesome and brutal action， and characters that'll stick with you （a few at least）。 This combined with a pretty interesting premise set the stage for what is sure to be a wild ride！ I'll be following Gabimaru's story to the end for s This took me by surprise。 I picked it up because I saw it on a list of manga that deserved an anime， and that was all it took for me to check it out。 I didn't know what it was about， but I had heard the name before; once I saw the cover for it， I was sold。 Bold art， gruesome and brutal action， and characters that'll stick with you （a few at least）。 This combined with a pretty interesting premise set the stage for what is sure to be a wild ride！ I'll be following Gabimaru's story to the end for sure。 。。。more

Beautiful art for such a dark beginning。 It's an interesting point of view compared to other books I've read。 I can't wait to see more of the characters and island。 Beautiful art for such a dark beginning。 It's an interesting point of view compared to other books I've read。 I can't wait to see more of the characters and island。 。。。more

This was cool！ Its about this guy named Gabimaru whose gonna be executed for some stuff but they can't kill him and we slowly learn his bloody history and he can be forgiven by the Shogun if he procures the Elixir of life from a hell-heaven island and its dangerous and so he along with his executioner， Sagiri go there and find some wild things and crazy stuff happens。 Its a good one and explores the concept of hollow evil men being redeemed by love as is the case with the lead who just wants to This was cool！ Its about this guy named Gabimaru whose gonna be executed for some stuff but they can't kill him and we slowly learn his bloody history and he can be forgiven by the Shogun if he procures the Elixir of life from a hell-heaven island and its dangerous and so he along with his executioner， Sagiri go there and find some wild things and crazy stuff happens。 Its a good one and explores the concept of hollow evil men being redeemed by love as is the case with the lead who just wants to return to his wife and the enemies he faces are interesting， and its a ragtag group of people。 We are just getting started here but the manga is really cool atm。 The art is lovely and some scenes are just mesmerizing。 。。。more

Strong start

Tyra Leann ，

Honestly， very solid start to the manga。 I’m getting kind of Annihilation （Jeff Vandermeer） vibes so far。

cami ，

ok dont wanna sound like a hater。。i truly wanted to enjoy this but ughh。。i had to force myself through the first 6 chapters， i think the whole thing with the protagonist and his wife is rlly interesting but everything else bored me a bit。。idk why though maybe im burnt out from these types of stories。。。。but the art style is sooo cool so i might push myself through these 100+ chapters。。。

Trippy， gory and cerebral LOVE ITTT。

Nouran ，

I’ve seen many views on this one and most of them are negative; but I’m enjoying this since it’s the first time for me to ever read anything thing ‘historical’ but it’s not quiet easy to be honest， but I’m already liking where this is going and the art style is absolutely astonishing。

Chel ✨💫 ，

The style is interesting

3。5 starsSomehow this manga manages to be both boring and intriguing。While the art is "pretty"。。。the story doesn't seem terribly original。 The characters appear to be one dimensional tropes， typical of many shounen manga。 I don't actually care all that much for any of them or their plights， at least not yet。I also didn't care at all for how badly the story jumped around at the beginning。 I thought the events were being told via flashbacks， considering the flow of their conversation。 It wasn't ma 3。5 starsSomehow this manga manages to be both boring and intriguing。While the art is "pretty"。。。the story doesn't seem terribly original。 The characters appear to be one dimensional tropes， typical of many shounen manga。 I don't actually care all that much for any of them or their plights， at least not yet。I also didn't care at all for how badly the story jumped around at the beginning。 I thought the events were being told via flashbacks， considering the flow of their conversation。 It wasn't made clear and there no indication that the events were actually being told as they were happening until halfway through the conversation which made the beginning a bit confusing。At the same time， the creepy island and it's unnatural creatures have caught my attention。 I'm willing to give the series a shot just for the island。 I also want to see if there's anything in the way of character development later on。 The author spent so much time "setting up" the story for the island， I don't think he got to show his full potential in story telling yet。 Time will tell if I continue this series to the （eventual） end or not， I suppose。 。。。more
