SynopsisEscaping from a brother who had just ascended the throne, Yoshitsune, along with his servant, comes across a house in the middle of a desolate mountain. Oddly enough, only a young woman lives there, who seems to possess a very dark and ominous past. This is for mature audiences only, because of its constant full-frontal nudity, among other things...

When Genetic manipulation , Technology , Military , Utopia , High technology weapons, Immortality , Myths and legends , Samurais , Vampires and Sex mix up , in just a perfect ammount , You`d probbably get Kurozuka.
As i said , the storyline is not exactly something extravagant, but rather a perfect mix of scenarios already seen. The Graphics is pure perfection , such attention brought to details , and plenty of scenery , is just amazing. I admit i haven`t read many manga`s but this is certainly the best drawing i`ve seen . The fights are very well depicted , you can easily get a clear vision of what is happening.
The characters are "standard" , with few icons of great power , and a whole hierarchy underneath , well grouped into sides depending of their goals.
..And yeah , lot of sex , censored though , but it gives the characters "a human touch" :)
The length is just perfect , so you don`t get the feeling that some of the parts are too much , or that some of the story is cut, it`s all perfectly woven into a nice above-average speed development.
I recommend it strongly. read more

I read this after being starved for some ultra violence after reading gants while the violence is there. And I really enjoyed the first volume the tartintino style story telling can be a bit jarring and some of the charcters i found to become less likeable as the story went on. And I love tarintino but it got confusing trying to figure out what era I was reading. By the second volume the time jumps got too much for me ill return to it eventally just not just yet. I found the art beautiful and but the story was a little to out there for me at the time. read more

Bloodshed, gore and almost hentai scenes bring these series together. Though plots are completely different, the whole atmosphere of madness and non-stop violence is pretty the same.

In terms of violence and gore, Kurozuka seems to less exaggerated than Gantz. Although you are guaranteed to see guts flying in both cases. In terms of the narration, both story present a very unique and experimental style. Gantz having to constantly changing the characters while Kurozuka constantly time jumps (2 first volumes already cover a few thousand years). Both have this mysterious supernatural plotline well hidden along the action.
