Kiômaru #3

The wild-haired, intense-eyed warrior on this cover radiates barely contained ferocity — his flowing robes and raised weapon making an immediate, visceral impression. Volume 3 of Kiômaru, published by Delcourt in 2007, continues the series by Arajin and Shin'ichi Sakamoto with the same raw, kinetic energy that defines their work. If fierce, character-driven samurai manga is your territory, this volume earns its place on the shelf.
