Blade of the Immortal Volume 6 Kindle & comiXology

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 208 ratings

Anotsu Kagehisa has turned his Ittö-ryü into the most famous sword school in Japan, a dojo of outcasts and eccentrics who've slaughtered their way to the top of Japan's world of the blade. But as the old Japanese saying goes, "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down," and now Anotsu must relearn that ancient lesson when he discovers the existence of the Akagi, a mysterious organization formed from the survivors of the many rival sword schools destroyed by the ruthless Ittö-ryü. The Akagi are sworn to vengeance against Anotsu's dojo, but what Anotsu doesn't know is that the Akagi are wooing the immortal samurai, Manji, to join them in their war to exterminate the Ittö-ryü!

In 'Dark Shadows', everything changes for this multiple award-winning manga. For those new to _Blade of the Immortal_, flick over to the first of the series, 'Blood of a Thousand'. An understanding of what has gone on before is essential to fully enjoy this sixth graphic-novel installment.
Before, the story arcs of BotI fell into a comfortable pattern: Rin and Manji wandering around until they met a member of the Itto-ryu; the usual banter and posturing before blades are drawn; Manji getting carved on to lesser or greater extent; Rin struggling with and attempting to moralize what is essentially a revenge killing spree. Using this pattern, Samura explored a number of themes, such as obsession/compulsion ('Conflict'), ethics ('Cry of the Worm'), duty ('Dreamsong'), redemption ('On Silent Wings').
With 'Dark Shadows', however, Samura dramatically changes the formula, and just in time. Not that the story was getting stale--far from it--but some overall progression was needed, and here we have it: in this volume characters and situations are introduced that will effect the rest of the work as a whole (12 or so compilations worth in Japan), and Anotsu Kagehisa slowly begins to take his place as the manga's true protagonist, a man willing to do anything to save his country from what he perceives as steady stagnation. If there are casualties along the way, so be it.
Manji and Rin show up only in the last third, and there isn't much in the way of 'action' (at least in comparison to bloody epics like 'Dreamsong'). Still, one can feel a tension slowly building under the surface, a conflict-in-waiting that explodes in the next comp, 'Heart of Darkness.' And the repercussions of this volume are long-standing; in terms of plot development, this the most important volume (next to the first, of course)released so far. Not to be missed or overlooked.

The pace of Blade of the Immortal doesn't let up in this sixth volume, and it doesn't let the readers down. The Itto-ryu have wiped out the other sword schools of Japan. While the previous volumes have focused on Rin, whose father was killed and mother raped and killed by the Itto-ryu, this volume presents us with a wider scope: the Itto-ryu are moving up in the political world, and they have made perhaps deadlier enemies than Rin and her immortal bodyguard, Manji.
As always, the artwork in Blade of the Immortal is superb, and the writing and characterization are as strong as the previous volumes. If there's a flaw here, it's that the focus of the story leaves Rin and Manji (with whom we've basically remained throughout the previous 5 volumes) for too long--they're in less than half of this volume. But that's a quibble, really; watching how the Itto-ryu is growing and splintering all at once, and how its enemies have begun to move is fascinating. As always, this is a violent story, but it could hardly be otherwise with the characters involved. If you've read previous volumes, you know what to expect; if you haven't you need to--both to understand what's going on, and just because you need to if you're at all interested in comics.

I never received this book it got lost in the mail!!! I ordered vol 4-9 as a Christmas gift now my son is missing #6 from his new collection. I found this to be a very frustrating purchase. When I called customer service unfortunately there were not any available in the hard cover I originally order nor a paper cover. My son is totally bummed!

I felt that this was the worst of the BOTI series to date. The plot was good, but brief, and the new cast members were fun. The problem I had was Rin. While she has always been a little slow to catch on to the real world, she seemed almost dumb to it in this book, as if she could not handle the real world. After watching her slowly wake up in the previous episodes, that was a draw back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um dos melhores mangás que já li
Reviewed in Brazil on April 28, 2020
É comum fazer paralelos entre Blade e Vagabond, provavelmente pelo temas, estilo artístico e público alvo. Embora ambos os títulos sejam excelentes, ao meu ver, Blade é mais rico que Vagabond. Tanto pelos estilos do roteiro (que vai desde drama até comédia, ação e fantasia e etc...) e estilo artístico (Blade tem um traço muito mais experimental, misturando finalização com nanquim e lápis, o que resulta numa arte que parece até mais desleixada, mas mesmo assim muito bonita ao meu ver).

De modo geral, a história tem um ritmo agradável e sem pontas soltas. A história não se perde em "encheção de linguiça", o que é comum séries longas. O design dos personagens também é bem legal, percebe-se que o autor tem uma capacidade criativa considerável, dado ao grande número de personagens na história.

O único ponto negativo é a inutilidade de alguns personagens. Parece que alguns foram criados apenas para serem assassinados e cumprir a "cota de sangue" por volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mangá Épico
Reviewed in Brazil on May 23, 2017
Depois de ler Rurouni Kenshin na infância, nunca mais encontrei um mangá com a temática Samurai que chegasse nem perto.

Eis que Blade, a lâmina do imortal surge e trás consigo:

- Arte belíssima. Hiroaki Samura é um mestre. Alguns desenhos feitos a lápis vão te deixar parado olhando pra página por minutos. Você imaginaria facilmente um quadro na parede com aquele traço.

- Edição cara pra se comprar em banca, mas pegando as promoções da amazon, vale muito a pena. As edições equivalem a 4 volumes da antiga coleção da da Conrad, descontinuada. O papel é bom e o material é o que se tem de melhor nos mangás atualmente (ainda que haja espaço para melhoras).

- O enredo é espetacular. A vingança é o tema central, mas prepare-se para ler um épico onde você entende as motivações e argumentos de todos os lados. Você não sabe de que lado ficar e fica agoniado para saber o que o autor decidiu pro fim. Junte isso ao fato que o protagonista é imortal e seu desejo é morrer. Ele não aguenta mais, passou de melhor espadachim do mundo a um espadachim preguiçoso (já que não pode morrer). Tudo num contexto que poderia ser real, sem fantasias demais.

Resumindo, Blade é um mangá atemporal e um dos melhores de todos os tempos.
