This is definitely a dark series that isn’t going to work for everyone, but for some reason I’m enjoying it. It took me forever to get to this volume after I read the first volume but the wait paid off. The character development and the commentary on the importance of family was both interesting and well done. This ended on a more cliff hanger so I’ll be checking out the third volume from my library soon.

I really enjoy this series!

I really love how dark this gets. This poor child assassin really has issues but the fight scenes are both quickly paced, really bloody at times, and brutal. I have to give props to the artist, they sure know how to do a good action scene. I also like the relationship between the two main leads, as he's almost a grandpa/father figure to the girl. I really dislike the unneeded panty shots, but this is Japan, and it won't stop. That much I can count on.

Fantastic read. Nice artwork, good character dynamics, great action sequences, personal touch. Altogether it's a great read. I will continue with the series.

Gets better and better! I like the back stories, especially the slow way Miharu’s background is going. I enjoy her mysterious grooming as an assassin and look forward to when it’s revealed.
