Katana Series

This is an absolute gem of a manga , one of those sleepers , that doesn't get the high praise it really deserves.

The basic theme is that, our hero is the illustrious scion of family of sword makers , that have made swords /katanas for a thousand years.He also has the unusual ability to see the soul of a sword and inter react it with .

The problem is , that hes a modern day guy who not sure if he wants to continue on with the family tradition.The adventures he has by coming across various swords and aiding them ( by either means of cleaning and restoring them) are both varied amazing and totally entertaining.

This just one of those " supernatural " type stories that grabs you from the outset and doesn't let go.

A must read.

I started reading this morning and already read two volumes.
The story is very good and the art is sometimes very detailed, from the swords to rest. The character lacks a little, because you don't get much in depth toughts but that doesn't take away the joy of reading this manga.
There is a lot of information about the swords in the story as well as some old cultural aspects they have in Japan.
If you like the culture of Japan, katana's and the supernatural (the sword spirits) then this is definitely something you should read!!
