Lone Wolf and Cub, Omnibus 10 by Kazuo Koike
5.0
It's been over a year since I read the 9th "Lone Wolf and Cub" omnibus volume. It feels like less. Kazuo Koike, the writer, died since then.
It's been nearly four years since I read the first volume and I knew fairly early on that this would be a great story. What I didn't expect was for reading it to become nearly a ritual, that I'd need to read it on warm days when I'm relaxed, and can focus, and I'm out having coffee somewhere. Because it's good and I don't want anything to distract me from it, and I want it to last.
The 10th volume forwards the main story. It very nearly brings *the* end, but a lowly scoundrel decides to try to kill both the protagonist and the antagonist to forward his own goals, thus distracting them from their vow to kill each other in order to serve the greater good and counter the scoundrel's unwitting damage.
It's a beautiful volume, and it's as epic as this series always has been.
