Blood Blade

In this five-issue miniseries from Kodansha USA (2024–2025), a young woman inherits a cursed blade that bonds to her blood, forcing her to hunt supernatural threats in a modern world where ancient grudges bleed into the present. The series blends visceral action with a tight, character-driven horror-fantasy story, marked by a sharp visual style that emphasizes the cost of wielding such power. It stands as a compact, self-contained entry in Kodansha’s English-original comics line, offering a fresh take on the cursed-weapon trope without overstaying its welcome.
