Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Vol. 9 by Yuji Kaku

5.0

Gooosh...I didn't think this series would hit me so hard. But Nurugai and Shion's shared grief, and the memories of Tenza and how good he was, how he saved them both and smiled while facing down his death because he knew that his sacrifice would let them escape...man. Even better, rather than revenge, now they both want to keep living so they can share memories of Tenza, and honor his life and sacrifice that way.

Gotta admit I cried a little: thus, five stars!
