Does anybody know what manga this is? And what it's about?

Namely this one:

And also this one:

If anybody could tell me what they are and what type/what they are about, it would be greatly appreciated... I was told that if I like Berserk, I'd like these too, yet I've never heard about them nor have any idea what they are/could be about.

from what little japanese my poor french-filled mind can muster to remember, the first title seems to be "shibito no ken."

that is all.

Ah, thank you! That's actually very helpful - I googled for "Sword of Shibito" and found this, this and a few more... It certainly sounds like something I'd be interested in, but I'd like to hear from someone who actually read it.

Anybody hear about the other one?
