The mystery of the dead samurai continues in volume 2 of this lushly illustrated series. This book is in the tradition of "30 Days of Night". It is Diamond comics 'Distributors' Gem of the Month'. Lushly illustrated, it is a graphic novel tale of samurai culture and a murder mystery. Dark forces lurk in the shadows, plotting and waiting for their time to arrive. The mystery of the dead samurai continues to loom over the village, as a tortured Kyuzomo clings to his memory of Keiko, and a life that he knows he cannot return to. He finally agrees to speak with the rival magistrate Daifuni, in an attempt to discover if Daifuni is indeed responsible for the murders in the village, as well as the disappearance of Kyuzomo's father. But danger and murder confront Kyuzomo at every turn, as he is forced to battle against the powerful vampire ninjas that are out to destroy him. Ultimately, the deep wounds of loss and betrayal push Kyuzomo to his breaking point, and a dire decision to abandon the village of Yohan, never to return.
