I continue reading this series as I am able to get my hands on it. This second volume in the series does not disappoint, and it continues the excellent saga of the lone assassin and his cub. We find stories that will amaze the reader by their intricacy and some that are moving and even poignant. One of my favorites in this volume has to be the one of the widow's revenge who goes to great lengths (to put it mildly) in order to hire Lone Wolf and Cub. As always, once you pick these volumes up, you have to read until the end. Highly recommended.

On meifumadō ("The Road to Hell"), the cursed journey for vengeance, Ogami Ittō and Daigorō experience numerous adventures.

2 Volumes in less than 5 days. Its got me hooked. Daigoro is no more a little boy and Ogami Ittō also struggles with a few questions. The black and white art gets grander and more intricate.

On reading the first volume, I said that it was a bit Scooby Doo in the predictability of its plotting. Either I judged it wrong or I judged it too soon - volume 2 is great.
