Gabimaru is a ninja on death row with one chance to see his wife again—by finding the elixir of immortality on a supernatural island and delivering it to the shogun. Standing in his way are his fellow convicts and the fearsome beasts that roam the island, devouring or killing anyone they encounter. As Gabimaru and his executioner explore the island, they come under attack from creatures that resemble gods but behave like devils. Is this the holy land or hell itself?

Definitely hoping this series stays this solid. I'm enjoying the mystery of the island, as well as the creepy imagery that permeates it. The main characters are pretty good as well and the fact that they are getting hurt and hitting limits makes me pretty happy since they have to think and not just brute strength everything.
