4 stars - It was really good
In this volume, we have a friendly bonsai man, the threat of Lord Tensen, and the death of more executioners and prisoners. Lord Tensen is a very interesting character with abilities that make them hard to fight. Their fight with Gabimaru was brutal and gory. I will be excited to see it animated so you can really see their fighting styles.
We also jump to the characters Yamada Asaemon Tenza and his charge Nurugai. I was surprised by how much I liked these two characters and sad to see some of what happened. I will be interested in seeing how Nurugai’s story continues.
Also, I love that we are getting flashbacks of his time with his wife. They are so cute together and I love that he is always blushing with her.
