I continue reading this series as I am able to get my hands on it. This second volume in the series does not disappoint, and it continues the excellent saga of the lone assassin and his cub. We find stories that will amaze the reader by their intricacy and some that are moving and even poignant. One of my favorites in this volume has to be the one of the widow's revenge who goes to great lengths (to put it mildly) in order to hire Lone Wolf and Cub. As always, once you pick these volumes up, you have to read until the end. Highly recommended.

On meifumadō ("The Road to Hell"), the cursed journey for vengeance, Ogami Ittō and Daigorō experience numerous adventures.

2 Volumes in less than 5 days. Its got me hooked. Daigoro is no more a little boy and Ogami Ittō also struggles with a few questions. The black and white art gets grander and more intricate.

On reading the first volume, I said that it was a bit Scooby Doo in the predictability of its plotting. Either I judged it wrong or I judged it too soon - volume 2 is great.

I am slowly picking up on aspects of the culture during feudal Japan. It's like being in an immersion language study - very little is explained but you slowly start putting the pieces together. I'm still really interested in the story behind the Lone Wolf and Cub's circumstances, and I will continue reading.

I know the translators leave a lot of the historical terms untranslated on purpose, but boy does it make it difficult to tell what's happening.

Eu achava que já tinha sacado o esquema da narrativa: cada capítulo com uma história envolvendo o contratante dos serviços do Lobo Solitário e consequentemente sua exímia execução. E que do começo ao fim tudo envolvia esse serviço, então quando a gente via o Daigoro urinando na cabeça de alguém, isso fazia parte do plano inicial de executar o serviço que foi contratado. Mas aqui não! Aquela que o Daigoro é capturado por ter batido no filho mimado de um samurai, por exemplo, não faz parte de plano nenhum. É usado lindamente para mostrar a nós leitores, a personalidade do menino. Aliás, que personalidade, hein?! Numa outra cena, seu pai que está prestes a executar um plano, informa ao garoto que talvez não dê certo e que se isso acontecer, eles morrerão. Simples assim.
O que me encantou muito também foi a narrativa gráfica. Algo que eu já tinha observado no primeiro volume, mas que neste segundo me deixou boquiaberta.
