Description
Gabimaru the Hollow is one of the most vicious assassins ever to come out of the ninja village of Iwagakure. He’s ruthlessly efficient, but a betrayal results in him being handed a death sentence. He has only one hope—in order to earn his freedom, he must travel to a long-hidden island and recover an elixir that will make the shogun immortal. Failure is not an option. On this island, heaven and hell are just a hair’s breadth away.

Wow. I cannot wait for volume 2 to be out. The story has me completely intrigued. An assassin is finally caught. He is Gabimaru the Empty and he just wants to die. Or does he? The first part of the book is his captors trying to execute him and I love it. No matter what they do he won't die. So, they bring in a special beheader who makes him a deal. Go on a quest and they will let him go live a peaceful life. It has everything you want in a good quest story. There are high stakes and the art is beautiful. Such a good book.

A beautiful and artistically-styled story, sure to grip readers. I’m glad I had the chance to read this creative story and would gladly share it with others.

One of the better mangas I've read! I like the art style a lot. I wish it was in full color like the cover (which is gorgeous!) but I still enjoyed it. Lots of action and the main character grew on me after a while. Some panels were better than others when it came to the art style, and I found the panels with more scenery or not any people tended to be a lot higher quality, so it was a little frustrating to have the back and forth quality shifts. The closeups of our main character were pretty bad sometimes.
I did really enjoy the story though. Pretty exciting. And the pages that marked the new chapters were gorgeous! Overall I think I'll give this 3.5 stars.
