Sure is! Try reading it. It's as entertaining as the anime

Why not give Shigurui a try? The anime is awesome too.

Well, the ones I've read are Rirouni (spell?) Kenshin and Samurai Champloo.
Both great. Though Samurai Champloo is a bit wacky >_<

AH, Blade is absolutely amazing, Hiroaki Samura's pencil work is spectacular and the story is amazing. The only other samurai manga out there that I think is better would have to be Vagabond. Vagabond is written and illustrated by the same guy who did Slam Dunk, and needless to say the man has extraordinary artistic ability. The story is a retelling of the Musashi novel and it tells Miyamoto Musashi's life story in a stylized yet true to the novel manner, simply amazing pick it up if you see it or find it online.

If anyone can find a copy of Samurai Champloo vol. 3, you are "The Man" in my book. I'd have to say it's one of the best recent samurai themed manga out there right now. It's got it's own story line, so the goals are the same, but it doesn't follow the anime, which is pretty awesome in my book. I really wish that I can find a place that actually carries this series, because I've been looking for vol. 3 for the last ten months now!!

Yes i think samuri mangas are really good i love what they do with the sword fighting you know and they usally have a legend or something that makes you go COOL .

Shigurui is awesome! I love the way it is meticulously researched and drawn!

rurouni kenshin was a great read, had alotta fun readin it, the anime kinda left me high an dry after the Shishio Arc though, but the story ends either way, on a good note in the long run, samurai champloo was a GREAT anime too, but the thing is, other than those 2, i dont really know of anymore samurai animes, which is upsettin cuz they're always really cool

I guess i will have to go old school and say rurouni kenshin unless of course you include setsuna from negima as a samurai and then it's a whole new conversation ^.^
