Description
From Anime News Network:
In Korea in 668 AD, North Star, using the martial arts discipline of Sashinmu, went into a beserker rage and massacred 100 of the most skilled martial artists of his time. After the massacre North Star and the lethal art of Sashinmu disappeared.
Now it is 20 years later and a text of Shashinmu has surfaced again. A mysterious cadre will do anything to gets its hand on it and learn the deadly art. Meanwhile it is up to the book's protectors, Rin Yhun and Bi-ryu, to destroy it before the forces of evil get their hands on it. But should the secrets of Sashinmu be destroyed forever? Or should the art be mastered and used by the book's protectors?
At the time of this review I've read volumes 1-3 of the Infinity Studios releases (which are really nice books btw.) In any case, it's really good so far and I'd highly recommend it. Compared to the prequel series ChunRangYulJun, this is a lot better. The artwork is better but it is also far less confusing as to what is going on. The character designs are pretty distinctive so you shouldn't have problems mistaking one character for another by accident and such, and you aren't bombarded with 10000 korean names that you can't put a face to for eons like in ChunRangYulJun.
I'm so frustrated that there aren't more releases (both scanlations and licensed) for this series! One of the few good comics based on Chinese wuxia (ancient Chinese culture and martial arts).
