I recently watched the Lady Snowblood movie (1973) as part of the Letterboxd season challenge and when I realized it was based on this manga from 1972 I thought I would give it a try. This isn't bad, but I definitely prefer the adaptation which was an inspiration for Kill Bill. I doubt I will continue on with the manga, but I may rewatch the movie.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Too much male gaze stuff going on.
