Blade of the Immortal #65

Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal reaches issue #65 with a cover that pulls you in close — a masked, sharp-eyed warrior holds a wooden practice sword with quiet, coiled intensity, his gaze steady above the dark fabric covering his face. The muted, earthy palette and intimate framing give the image a tension that feels less like a battle cry and more like the moment just before one. At 40 pages, this "Skin 1 of 2" installment promises a substantial read from one of manga's most distinctive voices.
