dame_samara 's review for:

Orient, Volume 1 by Shinobu Ohtaka
2.0

After finishing this manga, I went back and re-read the description because I was left so befuddled by the events of this manga.
And I have no words still. If you are looking for an Action Shonen, it definitely fits that. But I found myself having to look past a lot of things, most of which are easy to look past because it's an Action Shonen, and that means things can't be normal.
WHAT I cannot look past is that this manga never once questions Musashi's use of a GIANT Scythe for mining. Apparently quite successfully too. Then also uses techniques meant for swords with this massive AF Scythe. Like the premises transfer as if they are super similar weapons.
Because of that insanity, I honestly can't recommend it.
