Such an epic journey. I feel like I say that whenever I finish a new instalment but these characters and this plot just keeps me so entertained.

Finally! Done with this fight against Nobunaga! But dragging it out even more would have been impressive. I'm also totally lost on who is who among Nobunaga's generals.
But I am happy to see Bon at the end of the volume... even if he is way more gross than I remember. Like I remember him being a bit gross, but him scratching his groin and then blowing away what I can only imagine is a couple of pubes is so beyond anything I remember.

Today’s post is on Samurai Deeper Kyo volume 10 by Akimine Kamijyo and is published by Tokyopop. As it is the tenth in the series you need to have read the previous volumes to understand the story. The cover has Kyo and Tenro (his sword) looking cool on it. The intended reader is someone who loves samurai manga, cool characters, and unusual romance. There is language, lots of violence, and partial nudity; older teens and adults only. The story is told third person god point of view with thought of the characters thrown in for character and plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of book – There Can Be Only One
Kyoshiro is back! But Demon Eyes Kyo isn’t prepared to give up control of Kyoshiro while Nobunaga lives. At long last, the secrets of the Mibu Clan are revealed! Akira, the blind swordsman, has returned as well with earth-shaking claims- he has taken Kyo’s body… and Yuya’s life!
Review- Finally the real villains of the series are revealed- the Mibu clan! Kyoshiro comes clean about being an assassin for them and that he did kill Yuya’s brother. When Akira comes back with his claims Kyo just forces himself back to the surface to kill Akira. It is very dramatic and some of my favorite scenes in the series. When Yuya comes back because Akira did not kill her and does not want to harm her the expressions on Kyo’s face are priceless. Kyo is someone you have to study to read his expressions. He has a great poker face but once you can read him he is very expressive. Kamijyo talks about Kyo’s shyness in one of her author interviews, when I first read that I was taken aback. I did not think that Kyo was shy at all. But then thinking about him I realized he was. When he is not in a fight he does not know to react to anything. Yuya confuses the hell out of him. All women either are trying to use him or kill him and she just does not really fit into those experiences. More great fight scenes and unexpected character development abound in volume 10.
I give this manga a Five out Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

The battle rages on between Kyoshiro and Nobunaga in Samurai Deeper Kyo, Volume 10. The fate of the battle seems almost certain until something strange happens with the Gates of Hell.
I am not sure if this particular volume is a defect, but the copy I have cuts off the lettering at the edge of the pages. It's almost as if someone enlarged the picture a few centimeters too big for the actual page before sending it off to the press. It was mildly annoying, but you can still get the gist of the story regardless of the cut-off words.
Who are you Kyoshiro Mibu?? I am so anxious to find out his secrets! I hope the next volume puts some focus on the Sanada Ten. They're an intriguing bunch I would like to learn more about. The new mysteries and the arrival of this strange person has me eagerly anticipating the next book.

Kyoshiro and Nobunaga continue to fight until Nobunaga's demise. Then Ajira arrives and claims that not only has he stolen Kyo's body, but he has killed Yuya. Benitora goes nuts at this news and all sorts of fighting begins- it's all stopped when Yuya arrives, very much alive. Again, Benitora goes nuts at this and we get a little silliness back in the manga. As our villains leave, they take the head of Nobunaga which hints to future deviancy ahead.
As with many manga, after rows and rows of battles, comes a period of rest and goofiness that I've come to love. And here, much of the comedic relief is provided by Benitora. As he is spying on Yuya in the bath, we meet a new character and he quickly becomes disgusting and my new favorite- Bontenmaru. He's all sorts of nasty with his ear picking and ball scratching but he makes me giggle (after I finish gagging of course). I can't wait to see more of his badass side- I can do without the scrotal-issues though. Hopefully that was just to give us a strong first impression and he'll mellow out after a few more introductions.

The plot twists of who is betraying whom is getting to be a bit convoluted at this point in the series, along with the multitude of numbered groups of bad guys. Or are they groups of good guys? Who knows any more...
At least the art style has remained consistently well done, and the panel layout is creative while not getting too convoluted and unreadable.

Selain manganya, saya juga suka ilustrasi dan fan art yang dikirimkan oleh para fans maupun komik sampingan yang dibuat oleh Kamijyo-sensei.

The story is a bit dull when it starts off with Yuya and Kyoshiro. But as you progress, the plot thickens and newly cast members introduced piece by piece make this manga unique and a bit of a masterpiece. There are two main story lines: 1- Yuya is looking for the man that killed her brother and 2- Kyo is searching for his true body to exact his revenge. Every other plot in between just adds fuel to the story and lets you learn of the diverse background of many characters, friends or foes. The story itself was captivating and it is a shame that many people know of this series.
The art style refined over time, giving the battle scenes flaws execution. The each character had their own torments and demons to deal with but I would have to say that certain individuals needed more evolution or better backstory. The end was well received and left no stone unturned.
I have watched the anime adaptation and I don't recommend it. It doesn't do it justice.
Do I recommend:
Yes! Just not the anime!!
