REVIEW: from chapter 1 up to chapter 14 (NO SPOILERS) Story: 10 Interesting, amazing, heartbreaking, many elements are from the Japanese and Buddhist story and legends. Art: 8 A bit confusing background at the beginning, but it has hugely improved after the first 4-5 chapters and this problem is gone. You will notice the same Kishi art style...but in the last 5 chapters it has become even better! In the close future it will be even better, I'm sure about that.Characters: 9

Not many so far, but they are perfectly done. Strong, mysterious, interesting and very cool.

Enjoyment: 10

Definitely the best new manga experience of the year. Samurai 8 becomes better and better after every chapter.

Overall: 10
