Praise for Blade of the Immortal Deluxe Volume 8

“Samura's stark black-and-white drawings combine precision and a gritty, gestural line in riveting, powerfully expressive illustrations . . . Readers will be drawn into this epic tale, even when there are moments they would prefer to look away.”—Publishers Weekly

“Few artists draw samurai manga as well as Hiroaki Samura, whose pages are packed with photorealistic detail while remaining fluid, dynamic, and human.”—OtakuUSA
