I know right 👍
welcome to the club of mugen enthusiasts.
I remember, I was reading it at the same time as vagabond, and I just had to give up on the latter to concentrate on it.
the art alone is great, the characters unforgettable and the plot is masterly handled and the fights too.
it's a shame that most seinen, even when their great, don't get the visibility and acclaim they deserve.
manji is and will always be my favourite immortal.

When I read the first words of the thread title, I thought it was going to be something bad :)))
Manga Blade of the Immortal shouldn't be classified in The Big 3 because it can't relate to the number of chapters, which are many obvious, it still doesn't compare to the others. But other than that, the manga is gorgeous and I agree with you 100%. My first anime and manga series, I really enjoyed the anime adaptation, which others didn't get or didn't like, the one I have I really enjoyed it. I'm not talking about manga anymore. I collect the serials also in the physical version, I have 7 Omnibus volumes, the other 3 (6,8,9) are quite rare and I can't find them in the country where I am. Samura knew what he was doing, the graphic style literally kills the look, I mean it's a crazy good translation of the art with the story, the characters are speechless, Manji being my favorite character of all time. I'm glad that I see posts like this, I replied a bit late, but I think it was worth seeing this, it made my day better :))))

Just finished reading this masterpiece, if you are reading this, keep going with the manga, it's worth it.
Personally, the ending wasn't that special, but the story itself was peak start to back, all characters are fleshed out amazingly!!!
While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams.

Hi this is part of the afternoon manga magazine? I always wanted to read something seinen magazine especially from the afternoon but I’m unlucky and couldn’t find one. Should this be my starting for the afternoon sect? I read the premise and stuff and I doubt it’s popular but alright I try it. It’s seem interesting.

YESS!! Finally someone saying it! 🙌 Blade of the Immortal is criminally underrated in the West. The art is insane, the fight choreography is gorgeous, and the moral grayness of the characters is just… chef’s kiss.

I swear, if it had the same level of exposure as Berserk or Vagabond, people would be calling it one of the greatest of all time.

Being delusional must be nice. FYI the manga was published in the West by Dark Horse and it even has a live acton adaptation with two anme adaptations, if the manga was as good as you think it is thse should have been enough to bring it "the same level of exposure as Berserk or Vagabond".

@imluckylalalina same here, its my #1 manga.. I've read vagabond, seems overrated for its rating..
