5 stars i live in a constant state of nothing but misery, pain, and sorrow。 i could die now and it wouldn’t be soon enough。 getting shot to the head would cause me less physically and emotional pain than this。 my reasons for living are shallow and not worth it anymore。

That was an absolutely epic ending。 I'd love to see Samura revisit Manji sometime, to see how he's getting on in the Meiji era, or maybe even present day? One can hope。 That was an absolutely epic ending。 I'd love to see Samura revisit Manji sometime, to see how he's getting on in the Meiji era, or maybe even present day? One can hope。 。。。more

Series had its ups and downs but this ending was very cathartic

The end is finally here, and what an ending it was。 I thought that I had seen how intense the battles and how beautiful the dialogue could be, but I was not prepared for this ending and its jaw-dropping moments。 This ending is truly unforgettable in so many ways。 It’s gut-punching and bittersweet at some moments, but I will treasure it。 The build up to the Itto-Ryu’s downfall is a gorgeous tragedy。 No one comes out unscathed at the bitter end, though I was satisfied with the ending almost every The end is finally here, and what an ending it was。 I thought that I had seen how intense the battles and how beautiful the dialogue could be, but I was not prepared for this ending and its jaw-dropping moments。 This ending is truly unforgettable in so many ways。 It’s gut-punching and bittersweet at some moments, but I will treasure it。 The build up to the Itto-Ryu’s downfall is a gorgeous tragedy。 No one comes out unscathed at the bitter end, though I was satisfied with the ending almost every character met。 Each battle was glorious and relentless。 There were standout moments from Antsou and Manji, and even Rin, which are among the most incredible spectacles I’ve ever seen on a page。 But the one that stood out the most was Makie。 Makie is a character I wish we’d seen more of。 Not only is she a tragic hero with an amazing story to tell, she is one of the fiercest warriors I’ve ever seen。 She and Antsou had a tender, heartbreaking relationship, and seeing them together for the last time completely broke me。I am completely in love with these books。 The good moments, the bad, and the ugly。 This is a series I expected much from, and it gave me more than I could ever dream of。 A fantastic ending with memorable characters, stunning action scenes, and a beautifully written story。 A must have for all manga, historical, and samurai fans! 。。。more

Hmm。 I don't know what to think。 The final battle was pretty dang nice and even had a few twists that were nicely done although not completely unexpected。 All it all it also feels like a decently average ending of such a story。 The end of the final volume, however, I'm not completely certain about。 (view spoiler)[I'm not sure what I think about the 90 years later epilogue thing。 (hide spoiler)] It felt both satisfying and unnecessary。I enjoyed this, but I'm happy I've finished the series because Hmm。 I don't know what to think。 The final battle was pretty dang nice and even had a few twists that were nicely done although not completely unexpected。 All it all it also feels like a decently average ending of such a story。 The end of the final volume, however, I'm not completely certain about。 (view spoiler)[I'm not sure what I think about the 90 years later epilogue thing。 (hide spoiler)] It felt both satisfying and unnecessary。I enjoyed this, but I'm happy I've finished the series because I didn't need it to be longer。 (view spoiler)[I'm so curious what Rin has done in the years between the ending of the story and the epilogue。 We get a summary from Manji and Rin clearly found a husband/partner and had children but there has to be more she had done。。。 (hide spoiler)]。 。。。more

So this is Manji, our cursed yet extremely skilled samurai hero (anti-hero?) who is on a quest to kill 1000 evil men in oder to relieve himself of this curse and die peacefully。 So it all starts when he is the cause of the death of 100 good samurai, due to his criminal actions, and is cursed to immortality, (by means of "sacred bloodworms" (血仙蟲 kessen-chū) that allow him to survive nearly every injury and even reattach dismembered limbs, by a 800-year-old nun。 After a tragic turn of events he then vows to make amends for his sins that will allow his curse to be ended。 This dark endeavor for redemption causes him much sorrow and suffering, but Manji always manages to persevere。 His life only gets more complicated, however, when he meets Rin。 Manji later crosses paths with a young girl, named Asano Rin, and promises to help her avenge her parents, who were killed by a group of master swordsmen led by the mysterious and evil Anotsu Kagehisa。 Anotsu killed Rin's father and his entire dōjō, making them a family of outcasts。 Anotsu's quest is to gather other outcasts and form an extremely powerful new dojo, the Ittō-ryū (a school teaching any technique that wins, no matter how exotic or underhanded), and has started taking over and destroying other dojos, and threatens to defy the honorable system of the samurai realm。 Manji and Rin team up together to hunt down the savage Anotsu, which leads them on a perilous adventure, down a simultaneous path of revenge and redemption。 I love the platonic dynamic between Manji and Rin。 This series is a wonderfully thought out read, amazing illustrated and filled to the brim with action, excitement, mystery, and suspense and of course, a load of violent sword fighting scenes。 There are a series of other interesting characters that I will not go into in this review, but suffice it to say, Blade of the Immortal is a read to remember。 I highly recommend this to seinen manga fans, but not to the squeamish or faint of heart。 This is a very graphic series。 [OFFICIAL RATING: 4。8 STARS] 。。。more
