Samurai Deeper Kyo

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/samurai_deeper_kyo/

Author: Kamijyo Akimine- sensei

I would say, this is one of the masterpieces that ever produced, considering that this manga written since 1999. Even to this moment, This manga is an excellent product ever! The art itself is really good, even better compare to manga artwork nowadays.

It's a mixture of history and fantasy/ supernatural. And I can never even tired to reread this manga over and over again. It has a bit romance, flashbacks as well.

This story has many important roles but if the main ones I would say Kyo, Kyoshiro and Yuya Shina.The short version of summary here is that:


The motive of this whole journey is to defeat the Red King (the current king for Mibu Clan). 

Kyo is a the fearsome and wanted person in Mibu Clan. Especially his body (bear in mind that this manga has supernatural genre). He has a pair of red eyes, which people believe he is the true Mibu Clan that potentially can rule over the Mibu Clan. Kyo however is not interested on becoming a ruler for that clan.

Kyoshiro is one of the candidates for the next king/ruler for Mibu Clan. Due to some circumstances he has had to fight Kyo (  Kyo and Kyoshiro were best friends). Kyoshiro somehow defeated Kyo and hence sealed and hid Kyo's body to somewhere that no one knows. 

4 years after the incident, Yuya Shina, a bounty hunter came across this one place where she saw Kyoshiro carried medicines behind him (Kyoshiro has become a medicine seller) and pretended to be sick and seek for Kyoshiro's attention. That's how everything begun.

Since Kyo's body has been sealed, his soul eventually sleeps deep within Kyoshiro's for 4 years. So basically Kyoshiro body contains 2 souls which one belongs to him and another one belongs to Kyo. Kyo however managed to get his first appearance when Yuya was in trouble. That's where Yuya learned that there are 2different personalities and persons within Kyoshiro. 

What is actually the relationship between Kyo and Kyoshiro has? How are they related and why are they fighting? to find out more, read the manga! 

I won't tell any more than this as I might coincidentally tell the whole story!
