This was such a well done volume, picking up right after the last one as they were battling Tenroku and his story was just sooo devastating and heartbreaking to read and witness. What a backstory to give him and it explains a lot of his character from the previous volume.

Because this one was mostly Tenroku's backstory, when it comes back to present day, we get more surprises from Ryudo and Tsuki literally on the last few pages and I'm impatient to read the next volume!

The art is still beautiful to look at. I can't get over it! Some of these panels are just gorgeous!

In this volume, Konosuke and crew battle Tenroku, whose supernatural luck is tied to his tragic past. This is generally a good volume which pushes the story along while giving the current opponent a decent backstory. 

The art has been consistently well done throughout the series. There were fewer historical notes in this volume than in previous ones, which helped maintain the flow of the action from chapter to chapter.

I look forward to reading the next volume.
