Over 700 pages of samurai swordplay and grudge matches in one killer, value-priced collection! Featuring Hiroaki Samura's fast-paced 'Mirror of the Soul,' 'Last Blood,' and 'Trickster' story arcs! Kidnapped and bound by three Itto-ryu warriors, Rin is unable to warn her bodyguard, Manji-the seemingly immortal swordsman-that he's heading into a trap. The Itto-ryu thugs also possess a large dose of the only known poison to damage Manji's blood and severely cripple his regenerative abilities. And is the Mugai-ryu assassin Giichi following Manji in order to help rescue Rin . . . or will he just stick around long enough to finish off any survivors? Collects volumes 13 to 15 in the original serialized format, in a faux-leather hardcover treatment, and with a bookmark ribbon..
