On the Perfection of Anatomy pt. 6
Publisher: Dark Horse
By: Hiroaki Samura
Genre: Manga, Action/Adventure
The conclusion of the “On the Perfection of Anatomy” story arc, and. . .the return of Giichi!
Monthly readers will be surprised to see the state Giichi in! Rin and Hyakurin have found one of their missing friends, but do they really want to know what he’s been up to since the Mugai-ryü disbanded? Will he still be the warrior he once was, especially after the injuries he sustained in Samura’s “Trickster” storyline? Rin, tortured over Manji’s disappearance, is determined to check every clue and look into every lead, but disturbing Edo Castle is tantamount to suicide. This issue also continues Hiroaki Samura’s hilarious “Biography” piece, accompanied by hard-to-find Samura pinups–extras found only in this monthly series!

This is such a great comic. In black and white but just as good as any top color comic out there. a mix of pencil and pen/brush & ink.
I thought I was just going to read one story arc and jump off, and that was 2 yrs ago.
what a great literary & visual ride its been. the artist/writer is one of the best anywhere in the comics industry.
