About the series
A long-running horror-action series from Shogakukan, Onikirimaru (1992–2001) follows a young, emotionless swordsman on a solitary mission to hunt and slay the ogres that secretly terrorize the human world. Wielding a legendary blade, he confronts these monstrous beings in modern-day Japan, exploring the thin line between monster and man across 20 issues. Best known for its striking, detailed artwork and its creator's signature blend of supernatural folklore and visceral combat, the series stands as a cult-classic example of 1990s dark fantasy manga.
