コミックブレイドマサムネ [Comic Blade Masamune]

A bold experiment in anthology publishing, Comic Blade Masamune ran for 27 issues from 2002 to 2007 under Mag Garden, serving as a sister magazine to the more famous Monthly Comic Blade. Named for the legendary swordsmith, it aimed to carve out a distinct identity with a focus on edgy, action-oriented manga and dark fantasy, often featuring creators known for their work in the Blade line. Though short-lived, the magazine is remembered as a daring platform that showcased rising talent and offbeat series during a fertile period for the publisher.
