He is the immortal of the title, something his opponents find out, much to their grief, and he doesn't flinch from killing.
If I had to sum up Blade Of The Immortal in a few words, the phrase that comes to mind is "dark, violent beauty." The series can be shocking, horrifying and brutal, not in a glamorous way, but in a way that is terrifying, stomach-turning, and truly brings home the horrors of violence and revenge.
Blade Of The Immortal is one of the few absolute must-buys on my comics shopping list, and one of the few series that I buy both the individual issues and the trade paperbacks: trades because I like having the story all together under one cover, and single copies because I can't wait for the trades!

 Women in Blade of the Immortal
Even Manji being an immortal, he is often plagued by physical or emotional pain and gets afraid to die; Rin frequently questions herself about the justice of her quest for revenge.
Besides that, she is waking up to love and we laugh a lot when we see her attempts to show Manji that she is no longer just a child, or the image of his dead sister, but a young woman that wants to be at his side through all things.
Among the working girls in Blade, the one that sticks to our memory is O-Ren, a courtesan in the Hittouryuu brothel (Anotsu's faction) that falls in love with young Magatsu (who, although he loves her, never touched her).

Blade of the Immortal is probably one of the finest manga series you will ever find.
Blade of the Immortal is set in feudal Japan, telling the tale of a man who cannot die and has no care for his own life until he finds himself watching after Rin, a young girl out to avenge her father's murder.
Along with these two main characters are a cavalcade of enemies and side characters that in the short time they appear still manage to carry the same depth as the lead characters.

 Review: Blade of the Immortal, by Dawn-sama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This ability allows the host to live forever and Manji is thus immortal, which is where the clever manga title comes from.
Blade more or less centers on Rin and Manji, but there are plenty of side plots that go into the lives of other characters; this makes for an intriguing ride as we delve into the minds of wanderers other than our heroes.
Well, there are a decent number of Blade English fan-sites, but the hype is stronger than the htmling fandom.

 Blade of the Immortal v1: Blood of a Thousand Review - manga reviews, manga news, manga information, manga comics, ...
It is a remarkable saga that contains all the classic elements of samurai manga: the brooding, unlikely hero; the quest for vengeance and redemption; and the violent, blood-soaked battles that have become a hallmark of the genre.
There are no quick answers during the opening pages of the volume, but as the story progresses the reader learns that Manji was once a member of an elite band of swordsmen, that is, until his actions led to the death of 100 noble Samurai, including his sister and her husband.
Indeed what makes Blade of the Immortal: Blood of a Thousand such a masterpiece is that it pulls no punches.

The Immortal was their god; even though he denied it, they knew it was so; the Immortal was their god, and he almost died so they could be born.
The Immortal seemed to sigh and say something under his breath that sounded like, “I wish they wouldn’t do that,” but he was sure that that wasn’t it.
They had some run-ins with these Immortals thousands upon thousands of years ago, before they could travel outside their system, and that was the reason why they knew these things.

 Mangamaniacs Review: Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Tiring of the burden of immortality, Manji makes a deal with the nun — if he makes up for his past crimes by slaying one thousand evil men, she'll remove the bloodworms from his body.
His erstwhile sidekick, Rin, has a legitimate beef with the Itto-Ryû (the "school" that killed her parents), but she's bullheaded and somewhat misguided, and as unlikeable a character as Manji is it's almost a relief to know he's around to keep Rin from getting herself killed by the next available samurai.
Moreso than story, however, Blade of the Immortal is a series that thrives on its stunning artwork.

Blade of the Immortal is solely about Rin and Kagehisa and Co. Their story is complex enough to fill the whole series.
Blade Of The Immortal is a fairytale, though, and more graceful, skinny and clean shaved characters are all a part of the genre.
As for it compairing to Blade of the Immortal in art, I guess I'll be finding out in a few minutes, but I have to say that BotI has some of my favorite art out of most manga I have read.
