Samurai Deeper Kyo

[Shijima]

Didn't see any topics on this, i'm currently reading through this manga and while not totally blown away I think it's pretty good. Could do with a little less of Yuya freaking out every damn time someone gets attacked.

I really wish they would have waited a little longer to do the anime.

And the main reason I wanted to make this thread was the way the scanlators translated Benitora's special move.... http://www.onemanga.com/Samurai_Deeper_Kyo/73/18-19/ had me laughing for a long time.

Hm....I'm surprised there wasn't a thread for this already. I've paused reading SDK until more chapters are released. It reminded me of Rurouni Kenshin at first, but then it started taking a whole new turn and that made me more pleased. I agree with your assessment. It's a good manga, last chapter I read was 122.

To give a more detailed summary:

Synopsis:
At the dawn of the 17th century, at the end of the era of civil wars, in a world of chaos, the epic Battle of Sekigahara was joined. One man emerged from the largest battle ever fought on Japanese soil; a terrible warrior of unspeakable power, he was nicknamed 'the unconquerable.'

Kyoshiro is a peaceful medicine peddler who harbors the soul of an assassin. He accompanies a young bounty hunter across Japan in search of a murderer and on a quest to discover the terrible secret of his own identity.
