Blade of the Immortal #72

The tagline "Torture Failed. Truth Revealed." sets a quietly chilling tone for this seventh installment of the "Beasts" arc. Hiroaki Samura's cover is a study in restrained menace — a close, cropped figure in a floral green kimono, long blonde hair swept across the mouth, a bare blade rising ominously between the folds of cloth. The composition is intimate and unsettling, letting Samura's precise linework and muted palette do the storytelling without a single dramatic flourish.
