Afro Samurai follows the lone protagonist Afro in his journey to avenge his father and claim the title of the strongest warrior. Along the way, we discover the sacrifices he has made and how far his revenge will take him. The setup and delivery is very basic, with Afro cutting down any and all who stand in his way, in the goriest and most graphic way possible. In terms of story and characters, there isn't anything particularly special, however, the delivery makes up for this, presenting amazing scenes which keep you hooked.Whilst many people have seen the anime, very few have read this manga adaption, which was released after the anime. I was skeptical of whether it could live up to the anime, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised.

Despite being only 2 volumes long, i found the manga to be very enjoyable, as it retained most of the anime's story line, whilst also adding a few twists and changes. The artwork is very enjoyable, with battles drawn in immaculate detail in amazingly designed scenery and locations. Overall, if you're a fan of the anime, you'll definitely enjoy this.
