Kagurabachi/Boruto (Free Comic Book Day 2025)

This sampler opens up with Kagurabachi, and it is total blood shed and body parts flying. The two travelers arrive to a city that is controlled by fear with bodies hanging as a statement piece. The Koi sword style is beautifully drawn and makes me not only want to see it more, but to know more about the swordsman. The art style is about average for manga, but the fish stood out.

For the Boruto story, it did not draw you in as much. I'll probably read this manga someday, but not go out of my way to get it. In this sample the villain was a character named Code. The look he presented reminded me of the movie A Clockwork Orange. I think it was a combo of the hair and face (eye make up and scar).


This sampler pulled me into the Kagurabachi story and not the Boruto story. For a sampler I would say it was mostly effective. I will admit on the Boruto story I did slightly wonder where he had been for that long, but that about all. They just should have picked a more engaging section for Boruto.
