Hiroaki Samura's Emerald and Other Stories

Blade of the Immortal creator Hiroaki Samura is always in demand, and Dark Horse's new anthology Hiroaki Samura's Emerald and Other Stories collects seven powerful tales from the manga maestro that have appeared in Afternoon, Quick Japan, Flapper, and other Japanese magazines.

In the "Emerald" short story, Samura tells his first explosive adventure set in the Wild West, featuring a mysterious femme fatale and a one-armed rifleman who execute a nasty little caper in a town full of nastier secrets! A series of humorous vignettes about two motor-mouthed teen girls is woven through tales of derailed destinies, lucky chances, distracting computer simulations, confessions of love, and embarrassing home recordings, as a masterful storyteller bounces around genres and time periods in this unique collection! A perfect companion volume to Samura's Ohikkoshi collection!
