sleepingnerd's review against another edition
1.0
Li para praticar o espanhol, e porque a arte parecia bonita. Entendi boa parte do que acontecia, mas não tudo. Não muito acontece nesse volume, talvez por ser o primeiro da série. Eu estava entendiada por boa parte dele.

Enjoyed reading this but can only get the gist of what is going on most of the time. I like the art style, reminds me of Garo.
jokoloyo's review against another edition
5.0
This review is for the series.
This is one unique manga.
The arts is unique and could be perceived as weird by some readers. The art is blending classic Japanese painting style with newer style.
Here and there I found some poetic dialogue and quoting ancient philosophy sayings. Unlike majority in samurai theme mangas that trying to grab reader's attention by full action scenes, this manga patiently gives some story foundation as primary objective, and put the short term actions as secondary. The first volume is focusing in fighting/killing intentions, not showing real swords clashing. Except the bonus chapter, but I will get to there.
The main story itself is simple for me, but the author only revealed the main plot on Volume 4. The first three volumes are for character introductions and slice-of-life theme in Edo period.
This series is worth 4 star. The strength of this manga is the stylish execution of the story.
The fifth star on Volume 1 is due to author's effectively using bonus chapter at the end of the book. Let's say the climax of bonus chapter slapped my mind. Too bad it only occurred on Volume 1.
