Blade of the Immortal ( Mugen No Juniin ) (v1-v15 - c001-093)
Hiroaki Samura
Dark Horse

The samurai epic is a staple genre in the Manga universe, varying from the extreme violence of the ‘Lone Wolf and Cub’ series through to the animalistic spin of Usagi Yojimbo. Somewhere in this mix sits Hiroaki Samura’s opus, Blade of the Immortal. Samura himself says when he set out to write Blade, he wanted a more realistic and harsh environment for his characters to populate. Hence the reader is thrown headlong into the seedy underbelly of Shogunate Japan.
The protagonist, Manji, is a ronin, a masterless samurai with a price on his head. He’s a man on the run and has killed a hundred men while trying to escape the clutches of the law, the last one being his brother-in-law. Somehow he bumps into an old lady who infects him with blood worms, worms that are able to knit together damaged flesh.
Thus the man who wants to die and be released is made immortal, his only way to salvation is to kill a thousand wrong-doers. On completion of this task he’ll be given the cure to the worms and be able to die.

(Won Japan’s 1998 Media Art Award and the Will Eisner Comics Industry Award.)

Usagi Yojimbo is a samurai epic, but it is not Manga. BTW, do you have any Usagi comics to upload?

first of all great job!

i think this manga is scanlated upto chapter 120 that’s somewhere in volume 18 (i believe); the ones you see here are the US scans so the siteowner wants probably only them to be uploaded (Darkhorse is currently on volume 15 so far)

Don’t get mad cuz i’m stylin on you

Hey, I’m glad I found this page! But the files have been deleted due to inactivity. It’d be great if you could re-link them after reading this!!

And hopefully inform me, too, when you’ve re-uploaded the volumes. Thanks a lot!!
