![]() ![]() On the prior page his upper body was almost split down the middle and now all he has is a scar on his forehead. I liked it's gritty artwork and story.įor me it was clear early on that Hanbei's power doesn't just seem to be undying/immortal but also regeneration. I actually only bought this book because I needed to get rid of a coupon. I hope there will be an anime based on "Sekiro" too. I love Samourai manga and stories like Samourai Champloo which is one of my favorite manga/anime of all Samourai's based on mangas and there is also Afro Samorai. What's more cool is that's a one shot, you don't have to wait for other volumes. The villagers are facing some mysterious problems and Hanbei decides to help them because he has nothing else to do. The main character is Hanbei the Undying and this because he can not like never die, he arrives at a village where he stays with a young villager and his sister. You have Japan in the Sengoku era with samourai in great fights, the story is mesmerizing that you can't stop turning the pages because it's so fascinating with all the cool & perfect drawings ! Okey, so this is a prequel to a Japanese video game "Sekiro – Shadows Die Twice" ,that I've never heared about, it is by Shin YAMAMOTO yeah you read it right YAMAMOTO! Anyway, this manga is AMAZING even if it was based on a video game, I could not stop reading it and everything was freaking wonderful. Overall though a fun read with some great action scenes and flashes of beautifully drawn carnage. In addition, the frequent use of flashbacks made the simple story get more complicated than needed with a confusing timeline of events. The art also tends to be sketchy and messy, which I enjoy - but it makes it harder to distinguish characters from each other or make characters visually memorable. The dialogue however has some clunky translations, and based on the placement and design it's hard sometimes to follow who exactly is speaking. The violence and action are done very well with a good flow and some impactful splash pages. The story is simple but effective and the art is usually fantastic. For people who aren't fans of the video game I'm not sure how much they would enjoy this. Hanbei is a minor character in the video game, so it was very cool seeing his personality and backstory fleshed out. Since Sekiro is one of my favorite games of all time, I was invested in the story and characters. A quick read one-shot manga that explores the backstory of a mysterious and interesting NPC from the video game, Sekiro. ![]()
