Gyakushu!, Volume 2

An "original manga . . . story of revenge, brutal and primal" with action scenes "brimming with power and drama" and "striking" characters. (Publishers Weekly) . In this land of ice and death . . . where often the only warmth to be found is in the salty splash of blood from your enemy . . . a lone warrior treks across the snow-covered wasteland. His entire body wrapped in bloodstained bandages, at first glance he looks like an escaped nightmare, a macabre creature animated by unnatural means. . But this is no walking corpse. Oh, no - a heart beats strong and true within its skeletal cage, and the eyes . . . one look at the piercing eyes of this man, and you know he is more alive than most in this forsaken land. Whatever - whoever - ignited the fire behind his bloodshot eyes will rue the day he crosses their path. . Gyakushu! is a glorious lullaby to fans of the blood-soaked samurai story. The Thief, the tragic lead character in this tale, is a bandaged shell of a man whose sole purpose for living is to kill his way to the ones that destroyed all he loved. If revenge is a forest filled with trees - the Thief will not stop until they are all reduced to kindling!
