Samurai Deeper Kyo

In the 17th century, two legendary swordsmen—the "Demon Eyes" Kyo and his rival Mibu Kyoshiro—battle for control of a single body, setting off a sprawling quest across feudal Japan. Published by Mangismo from 2005 to 2007, this 22-issue series adapts the popular manga, blending supernatural duels with a hunt for the scattered pieces of a mystical weapon. Writer and artist Akimine Kamijyo is the creator most associated with this dark, action-driven tale. It matters as a faithful English-language release that brought Kamijyo's intricate, samurai-versus-demon world to a new readership.
