Legend of the Scarlet Blades (repost)

Follow the journey of the amnesic ronin Raido in a medieval Japan where spirits still exert their magic on the land.

His first stop is the city that talks to the sky, the ultimate stronghold against the ice invading the land of the rising sun. There, he meets Meiki, a graceful puppeteer and storyteller of charms. 

Legend of the Scarlet Blades, as painted by the tormented and airy style of Saverio Tenuta, is a series whose universe is inspired by feudal Japanese history and traditions, full of breathtaking settings and populated by a myriad of wondrous mythical beings. Cartoonist Saverio Tenuta writes and paints a twisted tale of a masterless Samurai named Raido searching for clues to his bloody past in a feudal Japan ruled by spirits and beasts. Highly recommended for fans of Samurai's BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL, and Koike/Kojima's LONE WOLF. Legend of the Scarlet Blades.
