Blade of the Immortal Vol. 2

Immortality is not a shield. It is a target. The hunt for the Ittō-ryū intensifies as Manji faces Magatsu Taito, a brutal swordsman who reveals that Rin’s enemies are far more human, and complex than she ever imagined. But the real nightmare begins when Manji meets Shizuma Eiku. Shizuma is a dark mirror from the past: another immortal warrior who has walked the earth for 200 years. Driven mad by centuries of slaughter, Shizuma has weaponized a terrifying bloodworm-killing poison. With his healing factor rapidly failing and his body literally falling apart, Manji faces permanent death. When Shizuma kidnaps Rin, a dying Manji must push past human limits to save her before his time finally runs out.
