Blade of the Immortal has gained world-wide recognition for its rough yet graceful art, its modern attitude coupled with a detailed, archaic setting, and uncertain innocence mixed with brutal bloodletting. This issue brings the reader into the midst of something out of the ordinary for Blade of the Immortal?a highly detailed traditional Japanese ceremony. These hidden politics, this tentative romance, age-old traditions, surprises, heartbreak, anger, fear?so much emotion packed into a single issue! And not a single sword is drawn. But that doesn't mean the tension and action are not present; rather they are hidden, gestating behind thin veils and quiet patience. This issue, as well as #79, are the crux of a long, mysterious story?a winding path that will soon begin its descent into the complex chaos you've come to expect from Blade of the Immortal! Winner of Japan's prestigious Media Arts Award and America's own Will Eisner Award.
