Samurai Deeper Kyo
The manga series Samurai Deeper Kyo is written and illustrated by Akimine Kamijyo. Samurai Deeper Kyo is set during the Edo period of Japanese history and follows Demon Eyes Kyo, a feared samurai whose spirit is bound inside the body of his opponent, Mibu Kyoshiro. Kyo is aided in his pursuit by the bounty hunter Shiina Yuya, heir to the Tokugawa shogunate Benitora, and Sanada Yukimura, a well-known Tokugawa adversary. Samurai Deeper Kyo was published in Kodansha's Weekly Shnen Magazine from October 15, 1999 to May 10, 2006, and collected in 38 volumes. 2002 saw the adaptation of the manga into an animated television series. The Studio Deen production ran on TV Tokyo for a total of 26 episodes between July 2, 2002 and December 23, 2002. In the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, both the manga and anime have been licensed. In 2002, Tokyopop purchased the manga. In 2009, however, Kodansha allowed its licensing agreements to expire, prohibiting Tokyopop from continuing the English adaptation of the series. Del Rey Manga picked up Samurai Deeper Kyo shortly after, completing the series by releasing volumes 35 and 36 in a single volume and volumes 37 and 38 in a single volume. In 2003, Media Blasters purchased the anime series under its AnimeWorks banner. In the United States, Encore network channels temporarily broadcast the program.
