Excellent fight scenes. Cool moments, with one really sad moment for the little one. I'm digging the entire vibe of this series. Has demon Slayer vibes with the fights, but darker tone in terms of losing characters like Juju, and yet it's completely modern day feeling fresh. Overall, def will keep reading this title.

Really cool story so far. Wish there was a little more exposition about the war before the story starts because it isn’t super clear and I would love more explanation on the sacred blades but despite those two things, I really am enjoying this manga so far.

I think it was better than the first one. I really enjoy the action sequences and the sorcery, even though it does remind me a lot of Tokyo Ghoul, lol. I still have the same issue with transitions and pacing overall. I think it struggles with a smooth flow, making it a little annoying to keep up with. I'm intrigued but not hooked yet, I'll come back to it.

omg i dont care i dont care like maybe its my own fault but the story is so hard to follow while also being so unsubtle and i dont understand the worldbuilding at all. i normally like catching up before i decide how i feel about series but omg there is nothing redeeming this to me im so glad i only have to read two volumes

I mean it’s nothing startlingly new from a revenge/avenge the ones I love tale, but I’m enjoying the story, and that’s what matters. Would love to see stoic Chihiro lose his cool once. He’s a little sweetie inside.

I also loved how much his father encouraged him to be his own person.

Gotta say, Hokazono's got a knack for liberal use of intercutting different scenes in with each other to construct a riveting shounen battle manga narrative. The characters aren't particularly deep or complex here, but the action is exciting and lovingly illustrated.

Clase pelea de 12 segundos, wow

La Char la ha pasado terrible, me gustaría que explicaran de donde putas surge ese poder no solo para curarse a sí mismos, si no también, para curar a otros. Me imagino que en la guerra fueron médicos.

Por otro lado, QUIEREN DEJAR UNOS MINUTOS TRANQUILO A MI HIJO. Puta madre, entiendo que por seguridad pública quieran tener las espadas encantadas bajo la seguridad del gobierno, PERO SI TIENEN UNA EN SUBASTA CREO QUE NO LE ESTAN HACIENDO UN BUEN TRABAJO! Y todavía tienen el descaro de ir tras Chihiro.

Maldito boca floja de mierda; vende a Chihiro como si fuese él el responsable de matar a su equipo 😡

Meh...non lo sto apprezzando granché. Partiamo subito dalla scopiazzatura di un capitolo di My hero academia, seguito da quello strano modo di descrivere le scene con quel narratore fastidioso. Inoltre la sequenza delle scene è strana...

Manca qualcosa...lo sento acerbo.

Io voglio farmi piacere questo manga, ma faccio fatica: il ritmo è strano, le tavole sono belle ma veramente caotiche, e il mio cervello resta sempre più confuso. Non so...

5 🌟

OMGGGGGG PEAKKKK PEAK PEAKKKKK PEAK PEAK I CANTTTTTTTT. This was genuinely so good like omfg I'm so tuned in like I can NOT wait for anime I am actually so excited you don't understand. Actually horrible though I was like oh this side character is so cool and then 2 chapters later BOOM he died like oh ok what the hell. I can't believe Sojo is dead already like genuinely I thought he was gonna last at LEAST until volume 5 like I knew he wasn't the main villain but like what the hell how did he die that early on I lowkey loved him.

Continuando esta maravillosa obra, se comenzó bastante fuerte con esta pelea. Se introducen nuevos personajes, hay escenas tristes y hay momentos de la pelea que al verlo solamente reaccionaba con un “wow” porque me maravillaba cada vez más con el arte y lo magnífica que eran las peleas. Más escenas entre Chihiro y su padre, cada vez que leo más caigo en cuenta del por qué hay bastante gente que insiste en que uno lea esta obra. Es tan maravillosa de tantas formas y solamente me da ganas de leer más y mucho más.

THIS WAS SO GOOD.

I loved all the new characters that were introduced.
(Even tho pretty much all of them died.)
Some of the fight sequences in the volume got a little confusing, but the characters and art make up for that.
THE ART.
THE ART IS SO GOOD.
Everything was so well drawn, and my jaw genuinely dropped during the Chihiro-Sojo fight.

Amazing volume. 4.8/10
