To end his immortal suffering, he must slay one thousand enemies! Manji, a ronin warrior of feudal Japan, has been cursed with immortality. To rid himself of this curse, to regain his mortality, and to end his life of misery, he must slay one thousand evil men! His quest begins when a young girl seeks his help in taking revenge on her parents' killers . . . and his quest won't end until the blood of a thousand has spilled!
General Notes
Dana Lewis and Toren Smith's writing credits are as translators of Samura's original Japanese and Wayne Truman's lettering credit is for retouching, although some of Hiroaki's original lettering (such as sound effects, is left in tact).
Despite the solicit, the issue is actually not about those specific events and rather the solicit is an overview of the initial premise of the series. The young girl (Rin Asano) doesn't appear in this issue and her parents aren't even killed until the arc following this prologue to the series.
