Customer Reviews

Historical fiction at its best

I was really excited to read this. At first I thought I was going to be yawning through it, but once it picks up you can't put it down. Great story-telling, great pace and Taniguchi Jiro is beyond words. Great read. If you're interested in Japanese history, samurai or awesome sword fights this is the book for you.

Samurai Master

This is one of the greatest manga that I have read. It is quite historically accurate. The art is second only to Vagabond. The fighting is drawn in a way that you understand it. Most samurai manga show a guy cut and somehow his opponent falls. This manga pretty much tought me how to fight, even listing techniques that the oppenents were using. I was very lucky to find this one. I would recommend it to any samurai fan.
