Ninjas, a feud spanning centuries, plenty of action and at the heart of it all, a shakesperean love story. Definitely worth a read. The art is superb: original, bold with great creative character designs. I thought the length of the manga was just fine with nice pacing as far as the story goes, although it would've been nice to have more depth as to why the feud started in the first place like the anime explains...
Very good and interesting series, gay surely haven't even looked at it going to conclusions so fast...
characters have strange abilities, fast pace story, good artwork (even though I don't like the artwork that looks digitaly animated)
in reply to gay: because some people want to see things *animated*
I love this series on the other end. It is great. No dragged on stories. The art is amazing. The characters all have their interesting aspect. The greatness of a manga is not really about the length. I say don't listen to the previous entry, Basilisk rocks!
i think the show is gay because it only has 5 volumes wats the use of watching the show when its gonna end so soon
