Ice Blade

Ice Blade (地雷震, Jiraishin, Earth-Lightning-Quake or Landmine Quake) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsutomu Takahashi.

He works in a bleak, gritty representation of Shinjuku alongside his partner Tsuyoshi Yamaki in hunting down suspects and arresting them before he was killed in the line of duty.

Written and illustrated by Tsutomu Takahashi, Ice Blade was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from the 1992 to 1999 (November 1992–January 2000 issues).

[11] When Jiraishin was serialized as Ice Blade in MixxZine, there were instances of censorships in some of its panels as it was a new magazine when it was released and did not wish to offend potential distributors.

[23] Serdar Yegulalp of Advanced Media Network compares Jiraishin to Miami Vice as the "blood, grit, and sin spatter so thickly that it's a miracle you don't get your fingers dirty when you turn the pages".
