As Yukimura is on the verge of defeating the traitor Shindara, Kosuke rushes in to reveal the shocking truth behind Shindara's betrayal. Just as the misunderstandings are put to rest, the Four Elders appear...to welcome in Kyo and the gang into Onmyo Palace! What secrets are hidden within, and more importantly, will our heroes survive them?
Kyoshiro Mibu
A traveling medicine peddler, Kyoshiro Mibu is peaceful, lighthearted, and a bit of a coward. He carries a 5 shaku long sword with him, but claims it's just for show. Unbeknownst to anyone, he holds within him the spirit of Demon Eyes Kyo, and when provoked, the red-eyed samurai takes over Kyoshiro's body.
Demon Eyes Kyo
Kyo is the other personality in Kyoshiro's body. Kyo, one of the original Muramasas, has blood red eyes and is said to have killed 1000 men at the Battle of Sekigahara. There's a legendary one million ryo bounty on his head.
Yuya Shiina
Yuya is a clever and beautiful bounty hunter, the best anywhere on Tokaido-chu. She seeks a man with a scar on his back - the man who killed her brother. After discovering the secret of Kyoshiro and Kyo, she hopes to unravel their mystery (and possibly to collect on their bounty).
Izumono Okuni
A mysterious and powerful woman, Okuni is a former priestess of the Izumo temple who claims to have been Kyo's lover.
Jiban
A samurai who was shamed by Kyo at Sekigahara. He took a job as a yojimbo to a local Daikan in order to perfect his killing technique. Now he's ready to face Kyo again and regain his honor.
Kamijyo Akimine
Samurai Deeper Kyo is Akimine-san's first published manga. It began appearing in October of 1999 in Japan in Shuukan Shounen Magazine. The 18th volume was published in November, 2002 by Kodansha. It has also spawned a successful anime series from Studio Deen.

I think that this has probably been the only anime series that has kept me waiting for next issues since it came out. When I started it only had 10 issues out I had to drop $130 on the spot!!! I cant believe they make us wait, though. I'd take em in Japanese if it meant I could have em all now!!
