3 stars – I liked it

This volume see’s the reinforcements arrive and Gabimaru’s group splitting in two to better find the elixir and an escape route. Unfortunately, they have been betrayed by Chobe and are now facing down the many Lord Tensen’s. The fight for the elixir and freedom has finally started and it’s going to be an action packed one. Also, Yamada Asaemon Shugen is crazy and I can’t wait to see him and Gabimaru meet. 

Trigger Warnings: violence, gore, torture, experimentation, grief

In this volume we bounce between the different battles happening. Gabimaru and Yuzuriha are fighting Ran, Chobe and Toma are fighting Ju Fa, and Gantetsusai and Fuchi are fighting Tao Fa. These have been very action packed and suspenseful battles so far. It will be interesting to see how the battle against Tao Fa and Ju Fa progresses since they seem to be different from the other Tenzen. 

Trigger Warnings: death, violence, gore,

4 stars out of five
4 stars – It was really good

In this volume, we continue the battle against the Tensens. Chobe, Toma, Gantesusai and Fuchi team up to fight the merged creature that is Tao Fa and Ju Fa, while Shio and Nurugai fight Zhu Jin. Both of these battles were great. I really can’t wait to see them animated when the anime comes out. This volume ends with the Igwarkure ninjas and Yamata Asemon backup arriving at the palace. I can’t wait to see Gabimaru’s battle against the Igwarkure ninjas. 

Trigger Warnings: violence; gore; child death
