Review Quotes

"The first volume of The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru is incredibly solid, and if it maintains this level of quality I think it could be one of the definitive takes on the series... I highly recommend reading it and will be looking out for future releases." --Grant Jones, Anime News Network

"Instead of having Tezuka's cute, Disney-esque art, Shiki has given real atmosphere and mood that fits with the subject of demons and war, using shadowing and slick character design." --Danica Davidson, Otaku USA
