Love the Las Vegas/desert local for our tiny assassin and her old man partner. What I love about this series is the old school graphics and the nonstop bloody action. It’s unrelenting with such colorful villains and side characters you forget Miharu is only in fifth grade and Raizou does things no old man could possibly do, but it’s such a fun action manga I’m here for the crazy ride!

I still really enjoy the overall series. It's a fun romp and the story and characters are getting more depth with every volume.
That being said, I still don't see how panty-shots of an eleven-year-old girl are relevant or necessary to the plot and tbh, I find it borderline gross. (If you wanna sexualise a characters, at least take the grown woman that's also in there.)

Being Bosnian, this volume reminded me of the war since it touched up on the war for one of the characters.

Author knows how to write a kick-ass story! Gun blazing in both hands hanging from a helicopter! Wow that as some fantastic action. Also getting out of the wasteland in an unexpected way! Fantastic. Full action revenge fun! What else do you need!
