Blade of the Immortal #98

The moonlit forest battle between Manji and Giichi concludes. A bit too confident in his mystical healing powers, Manji has survived several sloppy sword fights and recovered from severe injuries ... but never from a beheading! Giichi's fighting style and unique weapon of choice may be just what's needed to take the near-immortal warrior down. Rin, recently reunited with her beloved Manji, watches the fight from the shadows, while a strange figure lurks in the forest behind her with evil intentions. A cliffhanger ending?? You betcha! Two bloodthirsty fan-favorites clash in another stylish Samurai showdown
