This series continues to be fantastic, I'm so sad the next volume is the last one. I can tell the creator intended this to be longer.
In this volume we learn more about the mononoke and the villain's plan. This one also had a bit of fanservice that I enjoyed. I like the extra at the end of the book where the creator talked about how a lot of people like how he draws butts and thighs. Cracked me up!
I still recommend this series if you're looking for a dark action series. It's well worth your time.

THIS VOLUME HAD SOME OF THE COOLEST ART IN THE SERIE!!
I absolutely loved book 4, especially the second part.
Love the new characters, the vilain is still super stylish and charismatic (again, some hisoka vibes here), and the bond between Rago and Jiro is starting to make me quite emotional.
On a side note though, I hope Ichika will play an important part in volume 5 because I feel like she's the least developed character as of now, sadly.
Such an enjoyable shonen, I wonder why Black Torch isn't more well-known.

I'm a little surprised that this is such a short series. I'm really looking forward to the finale!

As the other Mononoke are clearly after Rago and want to separate Rago from Jiro, they have to decide how to attack back. Rago wants Jiro to be okay, and Jiro wants to fight everyone. Rago throws in a surprise here, though, that not even the mononoke had considered.
With this new power, the bureau is having a hard time keeping hold of Jiro, and Jiro needs to train to figure out how to handle it all.
Jiro meets a new mononoke in the second half of this volume. It's a mononoke woman, who has made an agreement to live peacefully and unbothered in this forest, along with her husband who used to be human. I really liked getting to see their dynamic and history, how they came to be in this position. It's a really sweet story, and I was pleasantly surprised to meet these characters. I kind of want more of them.
The next volume is the last, which seems to mean that there isn't a romance in the forefront, and I appreciate that. Jiro only formed some light friendships with all of the characters, including the women, and I like that. The plot line was more important to him, at least.
Now, saying that, I kind of ship Ichika and Roren? It's so odd to me, and yet I'm kind of into it.
