Awesome is a good description. Artwork is stunningly addictive and there is no room for boredom between the covers. A must read for action junkies.

Totally different.
Hiroaki Samuras drawing style is just awesome, artistic, best I`ve seen so far.
Really great, though bloody story!

Very cool. The art is good, the story is pretty cool, and the fights are also nice. But I still can't give it a full rating, the story just lacks something to the top mangas. But this is still a very good manga. Read it.

Saw 20 is out, but I'm at v19. Heard it's going to end soon but the story is still in the middle of somewhere. Manji excercise his romance of samurai by bearing every sort of brutal attacks on his body. While Rin seems to be growing up alot despite of still being weak. Wonder where would their journey end. The introduction of another pair of wanderers should be bring some impact on them.
Pretty good drawings as usual, stylish sketches. Not many authors are drawing like this. The degree of violence / gore is pretty high.

This manga is just amazing. The artwork is just amazing, and despite the slow chapter releases, it is still worthwile, its just amazing. If god was drawing a manga, it would be this one, not particularly the story, which i do enjoy, but the art is amazing.

Wow. Now, here's a good manga. I've read up to v15 and it's awesome. Very, very gory. But, more importantly plot is awesome. Lots of twists. Starts like a typical samurai manga w/ revenge story, but gets very interesting very quickly. The characters are unusual too. It's not a main-guy-is-godlike-and-kicks-everyone's-ass kind of story. If you like samurai genre, it's a must read.
6/23/2005 release date of latest volume. It seems we got just one volume in 2005. Read this, you won't be disappointed. Hard and bad but with an eye to romance as well.
