roxanamalinachirila's review against another edition
5.0
The more I read "Lone Wolf and Cub", the more I love it. I'm very fond of the art, especially as far as the scenery is concerned. It's beautiful in its way and it helps create an atmosphere I keep coming back to whenever I want to read something special.
I've been reading this series for 2 years now, picking up another one of the omnibus volumes whenever I came across them (and ordering them online when I stopped running across them), and the only reason I haven't ordered everything at once and gone through them at breakneck speed is that I enjoy knowing it's there, waiting for me to go have coffee somewhere nice and read and disconnect from the real world for a while.
In the 7th omnibus volume, Ogami Itto breaks away from his usual "take the money - do the job" pattern, as his enemies, the Yagyu clan, close in around him and pursue him. Ninjas with odd and nearly mystical techniques get involved, a secret message is finally revealed and the story feels less episodic than ever before.
The drawings and some of the plots are really graphic at times (as they've occasionally been before), but somehow it's part of the charm.
