Only the most powerful warriors are able to transcend their human bodies and become something even greater—samurai. Samurai carry special souls within themselves and can travel through space as easily as walking the earth. Hachimaru has always dreamed of becoming a samurai, but he’s as weak as they come. He’s so sickly that he can’t even eat solid foods. Being too weak to leave the house may have turned Hachimaru into an expert at video games, but with enough heart, could he become a true samurai?

The follow up series from the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto. Samurai 8 follows Hachimaru as he begins his journey to becoming a samurai. Art by Akira Okubo, Samurai 8 features great character design to accompany it's magnificent art style. Samurai 8 combines samurai with science fiction in a way that feel unique and refreshing. Having just started (only chapter 6 has been released) it's hard to determine whether the series will live up to the standards set by Naruto, but so far it seems promising.
