5.0

I'm emotional!!! 

Strength. Weakness. And Doubt. They make me what I am. I AM THE SPEAR. THE LINCHPIN OF OUR PLAN. *chills*

"I've grown so fond of all of you" (Not me feeling like a Sagiri kinnie *cries*)

Thoughts throughout this volume (basically me freaking out constantly at every next scene):
-For anyone hating on Shugen, he is fine as hell (sorry).
-Shugen vs. Gabimaru vs. Rein. I am nervous. Can't we all be friends and leave the island together??
-Badass Sagiri is back!!! Wait EVERYONE IS BOARDING!! OH SHIT! YES! I'M SO PROUD! (minus Jikka (he can eat my foot), but what else could I expect of him)
-Sagiri and Shion doing Ultimate Hidden Blade/Dual Wheel Moon is insane! The future animation of that will be insane!
-DID REIN JUST LEVEL UP WTF?!
-Oh no Gabimaru! OH no Sagiri! OH NO SHUGEN!
-WAIT DID KIYOMARU GET CRUSHED? HOLY SHIT AND ISUZU DIED TOO!
-GO GET HER SHUGEN AND GABI!!!!
-WAIT WHAT IS HAPPENING?! GABIMARI???????? SHUGEN??????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HE BETTER COME BACK OR I WILL BAWL MY EYES OUT!
-JIKKA, COME CATCH THESE HANDS!
-Sagiri. What a speech! Do us proud!
-Gabimaru and Yui πŸ₯Ί
-"Just because you've sinned in the past ... It's not as if you're forbidden from seeking a sense of normalcy."
-SUCH CUTE MOMENTS! "I gotta accept myself"
-SAGIRI IS THE BEST *WAILS* "Wow. You're, um... AMAZING" (MY FAVORITE BESTIES!)
-HAHAHAHA! SHE GOT TO BEHEAD HIM! TOO FUNNY!
-LET'S GO DUO! +Shugen
-Okay I giggled at drunk falling in the water but like cmon??? At a time like this? I still can't stand his ass!
-"language Nurugai" See this is dad behavior!
-Gabimaru without sleepy/bored eyes changes his look a lot!
-I love seeing them fight as a team. *wipes tear from eye* They have come so far.
-Kindness does NOT make one fragile!
-Shugen all burnt up is still fine (Dabi vibes)
-Sagiri!!! Gabimaru!!! YASSSS!
-Oh no! Gabi just found out they are/were married 😫 Only Yui could make him stop and consider πŸ₯ΊπŸ€§
-SHUGEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😲
-SAGIRI DID IT!!!!
-No. Please no. Not Shugen? no. 😭 WAIT NOT SAGIRI? 😭 F*CK THIS! WTF! NO NOT GABI?! 😭 RIEN STOP!
-When two simps relate
-I'm not feeling bad for Rien, but damn. That was her love.
-Wait is she healing them?!
-TOMA!!! *sobs* RIP CHOBE
-Everyone beat up Jikka please πŸ™
-Oh no. The pardon! Everyone just run away together! Join Shion and Nurugai!
-FOUND FAMILY! I LOVE THEM ALL! THEY ARE SO CRAZY AND DONT CHANGE! 
-"My Yui?" GABIMARU LAUGHING HAS RESTORED ME! SO PRECIOUS!
-AWWWWW ALL OF THEM LAUGHING AND SMILING! THIS IS EVERYTHING! (Gantetsusai turned around so no one sees him smiling too)
-No. They cannot make a decision. Please no. They all must live. F*ck this.
-TWO MEN AND ONE WOMAN! NOOOOOO!
-Um.. Jikka?! New phone who dis? All he did was shave and put his hair back, and it changes everything.
-Jikka speaking as if he didn't want Shugen dead. Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!
-GANTETSUSAI?! I mean yay! But wtf! Where is everyone? Please tell me there is more.
-Woah! Woah! Woah! Chief is dead and Iwagakure is disbanded?
-Aw! Okay they are safe! PHEW!
-NOT THE GOODBYES! I'M NOT READY! *grabs the tissues*
-Sagiri and Yuzuriha better meet up after this because I cannot.
-GABIMARU AND SAGIRI DO NOT DO THIS TO ME! *BAWLING*
-"y'know every great tale has gotta come to an end." BUT DOES IT?!
-TOMA! IS THAT A HINT OF CHOBE I SEE??!!! STFU!
-YUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-HE RAN TO HER! I WANT TO CRY! HE MADE IT!
-IT ISN'T TACKY! LET ME SEE! LOL :)
-The last chapter. Can't believe this is basically over. Please give us glimpses into their future lives. 
-This colored final chapter art is about to make me sob.
-OMFG IT IS LIL CHOBE!!!!! "As of yesterday, the underworld around here belongs to me and you folks're next on the menu" IM DEAD! πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€
-Long haired Toma is back
-Nurugai is older and so beautiful! Always has been! TELL ME SHION IS NOT HER DAD?!
-Sagiri and Yuzuriha are together once again!!!! 
-Kittymaru is back! He finally gets to rest.
-The Way of the Twins. Blind Wolf and Cub. The Deadly Bone Setter. Kittymaru, Yui, Yuzuriha and Sagiri are together. All is well.


Thoughts on full manga series:
I love this series a fierce amount! I hope the anime is going to do well because this needs more hype! The characters are all very interesting. It's only 13 volumes, but you get attached to many of them. The new additions later on didn't throw me off, but added to the storyline (however some of it was rushed). The plot is not difficult to figure out and some plot twists along the way. There is many explanation panels that are not very confusing, which I appreciate so I don't have spend time on google. Only qualm is that even as a bisexual, I am blinded with the amount of times I see female boobs. Yet for the males, not even a nipple is really shown. I'm confused. Just seems to have heavy nudity for woman, but not for men. Like even it out. That's all. The art style is stunning, the fight scenes are wonderfully intense (and captured well enough to know what is going on) and the women, men, tensen, monsters and island are very statue-esque. It's very appealing to the eyes even when gory. I can't recommend this enough to those around me! This found family has my heart.
