HUHHH WDYM GABIMARU'S WIFEY IS NOT REAL??? What even is his purpose then oml I really hope this is not true. And I really really hope they won't use this as an excuse to pair Gabimaru with Sagiri. Speaking of, Sagiri and Yuzuriha totally ruled this volume. Nurugai too, the women in this series are amazingggg. RIP Senta tho, you will be missed. And I'm not ready for this new batch of Asaemons and ninjas into the island

A tensen taken down at the cost of Senta. Lessons in Tao. Gabimaru amnesia. His wife may not be real. The boat of ninja are sent to kill him. Chobe takes down a messenger. Yuziharu comforts senta in death. Shino is a tough MF.

4/5 Stars (%73/100)
It was definitely weaker compared to the previous volume but I still enjoyed it. This volume focuses more on Sagiri's group (Yuzuriha, Senta and later others). They face another Lord Tensen and the fight itself was good but the ending was anticlimactic in my opinion. Seeing Yuzuriha in action was good and her character is super bubbly. I'm also curious about Sagiri's future. The book ends with a certain plot twist about our boy Gabimaru. In short, overall it is good but we'll see what happens in the future.

'Hell's Paradise" Volume 5 continues the engaging story, fast paced action, and intricate plot that have been a staple in the previous volumes. Kaku does a great job of slowing pulling out plot points just long enough that I never get tired of wanting to know things and then plopping down a new mystery as soon as the last one is solved. There is a hypothesis put forward in this volume that absolutely broke my heart. This is a fantastic series and I can't wait to read more.
