Kendo: The Definitive Guide

by: Hiroshi Ozawa
Great book. Hard to do on your own. You relly need a class and a great teacher it is all just self-taught, poor technique that will get you disqualified.

Bamboo Blade, Vol. 4

by: Masahiro Totsuka, Aguri Igarashi
When word of Kojiro's angry outburst at the supermarket gets around to the chairman of the school board, Kojiro's future at Muroe High is in jeopardy! But there's really nothing the kendo club can do to help...or is there? Surely the principal wouldn't dismiss the coach of the kendo team that won the National Tournament?!

Bamboo Blade, Vol. 1 (v. 1)

by: Masahiro Totsuka, Aguri Igarashi
and I bought the collective volume.
Perhaps this is one of the overlooked titles in Yen Plus, but it certainly one of the best.

I actually really dislike manga involving kendo(the type of swordplay sport in this book thats common in japanese schools) and swords, but this was such a cute story that I loved it.
The characters are funny and cute and the story really picks up after this volume. Its very carefree and the art is interesting. Anyone who is a fan of kendo or just wants to read a funny manga, pick this up.

This is Kendo: The Art of Japanese Fencing

by: Junzo Sasamori, Gordon Warner
This is a good book if you are interested in the "sport" of fighting with shinai. If your are more interested in the "art" of Japanese sword fighting; I would go with "Flashing Steel" or a book on Kenjutsu.
