crookedtreehouse's review against another edition
4.0
This was my favorite volume of Blade Of The Immortal in a while. The focus on Anotsu Kagehisa's arrival in a new dojo was far more interesting than the main story has been for several volumes. He's a very well-rounded villain with very noble aspirations but unnecessarily violent methods. A lot like Magneto when he's written well.
When we do encounter our protagonists again, we learn a few new things that look like they're actually going to progress the story forward rather than continuing to spin wheels. I like it.
There is also a massive action sequence in this book that is ten times better than any of the action sequences in the previous two volumes. It's clear, you can follow the action, and it's gorgeous.
