I don't know what happened to Kishi as a writer but it's clear that he never recovered his edge after that terrible Ninja War arc
Samurai 8
>The artstyle makes everything look cluttered with no line weight or composition clearly separating foreground/background stuff so it all looks too busy and overlapping
*RAUGH*
for me the immortal samurai bodies and videogame stuff were stupid ideas that should've never been used in a "Samurai manga".
I don't think the characters are tropey is bad, it how you use those trope to make the characters likable.
Samurai sword fight suppose to end in one hit, one hit in and you out.
pretty much, wtf was Kishi thinking with this shit?
hasn't he seen any chanbara movies?
Shit we betrayed Kishi. Next he'll come to Boruto and burn it to the ground out of spite.
Boruto has been doing well without him, he better keep his distance.
>Ninja 9 - massive success
>Samurai 8 - massive flop
What will he do with the other 7 series now?
Reminder the Kubos Jet Artbook made more money with 50K+ copies sold, than all of samurai 8 volumes combined. KEK
