Blade of the Immortal's Samura Ends Harukaze no Snegurochka Manga

The 86th issue of Ohta Publishing Company's Manga Erotics F magazine announced on Thursday that the final chapter of Blade of the Immortal's Hiroaki Samura's Harukaze no Snegurochka (The Spring Breeze Snow Maiden) manga will be published on May 8 in the 87th issue.

The manga takes place in Russia in 1920 and follows a woman named Bielka and her attendant named Shishenok, neither of whom can trust anyone else.

Samura started the manga last year in the magazine's 81st issue (seen at right). He ended his historical Blade of the Immortal (Mugen no Jūnin) manga in 2012 after 19 years of serialization. Dark Horse Comics published the 28th volume of the manga in North America last month. The manga inspired a television anime in 2008, and Media Blasters released it in English.
