Blade of the Immortal by Samura Hiroaki

[monkey d scar]

The chapter from issue #1 2012 was just posted, and I don't believe #2 is out yet....By the way this is a n00b question but can someone please explain the discrepancies with the chapter numbers it seems they are constantly off from so many different sources....

Because the 19 first volumes that you can find here and there are from the english adaptation by Dark Horse, and those volumes collect less chapters that the original tankōbons. So when scanlators began working directly on japanese tankōbon, those descrepancies with chapters numbering were unavoidable.
For a better understanding, refer to : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_of_the_Immortal

but I can't find the chapter of the issue #1 2012 at all..

please somebody help me

[Vespertine]

im sitting on volumes 25 through 27, waiting on the spanish editorial to release volume 28 so it'll be a 4 tankos read.

edit 05/03/2012: i've read up to 191th. are there more chapters available? climax's coming...

[Lazarai]

I've been checking back more often than not... Really need my BotI fix! ;_; Anyone got any raws lying around? Even a synopsis will pass at this point!

[BBLali]

You are not the only one !!!

[Nagashiwa]

Nothing new, and nobody does can Magazine scans.

So we have to wait very long till a volume will come out in Japan.

[Gorgias]

But waiting all together ist kinda... comforting.

Btw: I finally ordered the Artbook - and it's pretty amazing! Especially the DH-edition (extra-pages and round about 20€/$).

[Nagashiwa]

Yes that artbook is really amazing!!!

It's really to bad that there are no Germany editions of it. otherwise I would buy a double copy haha.
And re-buy the book.

Hopefully EMA will release it, someday..

[Gorgias]

I'm pretty sure they won't... and amazon.de offers the DH-edition already for round about 18€. - But Why are you mentioning EMA? Is there no publishing house in the netherlands you're reading the german Boti-editions?

[Nagashiwa]

English version expensive. around 20euro
German version only 6,50 euro.

So yes I read the German version.

There is no dutch version and if there was one than for a price of kinda 8,50

So I keep reading the German version ^^

Hey all, I've been a long time lurker but today I thought I may as well make an account seeing as I'm often on here anyway. Most of you have probably found a version somewhere already but I thought I'd let you know anyway, volume 29 can be read here for those of you who haven't seen it yet.. http://www.mangareader.net/blade-of-the-immortal/174 as far as I know it's been properly translated, Manga Readers are very reliable

I'm pretty sure that they only have up to volume 28 as I read that a while ago. Volume 29 hasn't come out yet, like the others said above it is due to come out on May 23rd. Exactly one week from today! XD Of course this is the Japanese version though, so most of us will still havre to wait to read it. =(

And fyi mangareader doesn't do the translations, they just upload scans from outside scanlation teams, which means the quality varies according to the source. Whatever team they got their BOTI scans from seems to do a good job translating them, but this cannot be said for other manga on that site as some are horribly translated.
