This is the first of the BotI series that I actually put down mid-read. I picked it up again later, of course, but it was definitely lacking the intriguing character development and action that all the others hold. There were some interesting parts, but overall, it was just ok compared to the rest of the series. We need to get Manji out of the dungeon and Giichi out of the gutter. And where the heck is Magatsu?
I've been reading this extremely bloody manga for years now, despite its departure from my usual style. This volume had some great characterization, par usual, but if Rin doesn't get Manji out of that hole soon, it's going to get boring. :) Rin and Manji together are the most interesting; Hiroaki separated them volumes ago, and it's about time to fix it. ;/
Only 4 stars because with Rin and Manji separated, and Manji in prison, the action has stagnated. Better than volume 17, though. The artwork remains both stunning and subtle.
The pace at which these volumes are released is going to kill me.
