Okay I know the story established no one was safe from death but they did my boy dirty here and his death made me fucking HURT.

So this is basically two character sets we're following. Asaemon with the young girl as his criminal and then of course Gabimaru and his crew. And while Gabimaru and his crew seem more of a quiet arc till the final major fight, it's Asaemon, his mentor Shion, and criminal verse a demon like creature who can change appearance and is nearly invincible.

This is super charged volume with such awesome fights, sad deaths, and a new status quo by the end that I'm really starting to love this series. I'm sure excited to see this animated and hoping they do it justice because this is fantastic. Characters are interesting, deaths are shocking, and pacing is near perfect. Give me more please.
