Blade of the Immortal Deluxe Volume 1

Blade of the Immortal Deluxe Volume 1

Blade of the Immortal returns in deluxe hardcover editions, collecting Hiroaki Samura’s epic series for the first time in its original 7×10 serialized format.

A cursed, seemingly immortal warrior aids a young girl in her quest for revenge, as the students of a brutal new sword school tear a bloody path across Japan. Hiroaki Samura’s massive manga series spawned two anime adaptations, a spinoff novel, an art book, and a live-action film! Samura’s storytelling tour-de-force also won Japan’s Media Arts Award, several British Eagle Awards, and an Eisner Award, among other international accolades. Intense and audacious, Blade takes period samurai action and deftly combines it with a modernist street idiom to create a style and mood like no other work of graphic fiction.

Collects Blade of the Immortal volumes 1 to 3 in the original 7×10 serialized format, in a faux-leather hardcover treatment, and with a bookmark ribbon.

What is Manga?

Manga is a term for comic books or graphic novels originally produced from Japan. They are almost always published in black and white color scheme, only some special editions are printed in full-color, but this is very rare. Manga is read from right to left, which is completely oposite to English publications. Most manga are long-running series and the story unfolds chronologically, so the best jumping point for a new reader is always in issue 1.
