Black Torch, Vol. 1 Paperback – August 7, 2018

The art style is incredible, the characters are relatable and well written they have distinct personalities. I regard this as a very "clean" book in the sense of what gore there is is artistic and is there for the story and not to gross out. Which is something I appreciate. This book has a good reading balance of story and martial prowess. I'd highly recommend it to people who want a modern ninja meets supernatural. Nothing seems overdone to me.

It's visuals are similar to Dorohedoro, where a lot of black is used to imply just the perfect amount of edginess that doesn't make you want to Naruto run around the street, but still makes you wish you were a ninja. And the story is rather amusing as well, animals communication isn't uncommon in the manga world but this has a grit to it that's only known to Black Torch. I'm counting down the days for each new volume and can easily see a future anime adaptation.

My son can't wait forento get vol 2. He loved it

I picked this up as a recomendation from a friend, and after reading it.....wow I wish i had found this gem sooner. The author did a tremendously amazing job w the art and story of this manga. I instantly became a fan and read all 5 volumes in one sitting.

My husband loves anime and manga so I decided to get him these series for our anniversary. Only problem was that we didn't like how it was packaged. They are books they should be packaged with care. Some of the corners were ruined of the books. Other than that he loved that I got him the whole series.

Awesome. A ninja that can talk to animals, what could possibly beat that?! This was awesome. Lots of ninja skills, with a twist on exorcism and of course the cat. I could not have found a better read and I really hope it gets the anime they're talking about!

Jiro Azuma comes from a long blood line of ninjas, he can also talk to animals, like Dr. Dolittle. One day, he meets a demon cat, and gets himself into a supernatural war.The art work is like:Tite Kubo, Bleach and Zombiepowder (author)Kazue Kato, Blue Exorcist and Time Killers (author)The book comes with a mini poster, like in the Seraph of the end volumes.I enjoyed the story, the art, and the characters from this first volume. Sad to see it end at volume 5, but I do look forward to seeing Tsuyoshi Takaki's future works!

I liked the premise and I felt like it lived up to the expectations it set. I really enjoy the art, especially the facial expressions for the animals. It's a promising start to the series and i can't wait for the next volume!
