My #1 is still Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, Vol. This is by far one of the most graphic, violent, gore, and most of all best samurai mangas I've ever come across in years. The story on the other hand is passable, though it may be too early to judge the whole series, given only the first volume.moreĤ.5 stars ★★★★ for the whole series!!! (*Note: I have read the complete 15 volumes but decided to record as 1 book in the Annual Reading Challenge*) There are 15 volumes of this masterpiece but I'll write just one general review here (because I don't want to flood your walls with my reviews). It is bloody and gory, giving its readers an uncomfortable imagery of guts, awkward body movements and weird muscular structures. The Takayuki Yamaguchi's samurai illustrations has got to hold the world record for the most number of muscle flaps! Set during the Tokugawa era of Japan, Shigurui volume one follows two swordsman students of the Kogen school as they prove themselves worthy of the dojo leadership and a woman who happens to be the daughter of the current leader.
