This classic chambara (if i can call it that due to Kamui´s profession as a ninja) is important to the field of Seinen but only the slightly later published Rurouni Kenshin (10/10) to be the high point for this solely Japanese art form but Kamui´s tale is one for the ages nonetheless.
The author continues to tell the occasional tale about him to this very day and i wouldn´t have it any other way.

Its not a horrible manga, but, after reading the whole first volume, I'm still wondering what the plot is.
The older style art makes it rather hard to follow at times. The fighting is so-so.
Mature for breasts being seen all over the place. But, due to the art style, its not ecchi in the least. The author seems to want to show you the reality of history.
