cover

English translation of the Japanese manga Mugen no Jūnin.

Blade of the Immortal has also been made into an anime series.

Although Blade of the Immortal was still an ongoing manga in Japan up until 2012, Dark Horse stopped translating it into English as a monthly format with 131 issues and instead continued the story with trade paperbacks collecting a few new chapters at a time. The first nineteen volumes collect the monthly series, however this list also includes the volumes that are entirely original material (at least original to America). The end of the series was finally translated, after thirty-one volumes (one more than the Japanese editions), in 2015.
