Blade of the Immortal Volume 13: Mirror of the Soul by Hiroaki Samura
5.0
The best volume yet sees Anotsu framed as the protagonist, and Rin, who's barely grown as a character despite lots of plot development around her, seems on the precipice of becoming interesting.
Arranged marriages, honor, vengeance, and struggling to keep one's humanity are some of the reasons people read samurai focused manga, and this volume hits all the right notes in all the right order.
While I don't think this volume could stand completely on its own, I think it would be just as satisfying if you'd only read, say, volumes one and two and skipped directly here. It's truly excellent.
