Sudah menduga sih Tenka bukan jelmaan Orochi, tapi Soramaru.... Yang berarti kematian Tenka sia-sia!!
Tapi menjelang akhir buku di kasih twist..... yang membuat saya pengen teriak langsung ke pengarangnya "tanggung jawab sudah membuat air mataku terbuang percuma!"

Mana buku 5? Mana??! #udahgasabar

Soramaru and Chutaro are having difficulties coming to terms with their brother’s death. Sora feels lost without Tenka’s guidance, so he resumes his training beneath Abe no Sosei. While training, he finds his resolve to assume the Kumo’s duties. Meanwhile, a lost Chutaro leaves home
Everyone, except a certain few, believes the Orochii threat is finished. New players enter the fray. But is the Orochii truly dead? Did Tenka sacrifice his life in vain? Or are things about to take a drastic turn?
My heart aches for Sora and Chutaro. Tenka willingly stepped forward to be mother, father, and elder brother to the younger Kumo siblings. He gave up his former life for them. Sora and Chutaro finally realize that he kept their little family together. But can the two continue without him?
Okay, so I hope something “more” brews between Soramaru and Nishiki! The two are so adorably cute in their interactions. I like how kind and concern Sora is towards the Fuuma girl.
The anime really follows the manga faithfully, so far. I really miss Tenka’s comical antics.

Iba a escribir en la anterior reseña sobre que consideraba que era una supuesta muerte lo de Tenka, y así fue, por como estaba construido los diálogos y el personaje, se sentía venir. Lo ocurrido con el hermano menor, Chuutarou, me gustó bastante, porque es como la otra cara de la moneda sobre como debemos enfrentar el luto. El camino a continuar es incierto, por lo que realmente no sabemos que podrá pasar. Por otra parte, siento que este volumen lo que mejor explota son las emociones de sus personajes, y es ahí donde a veces falla en el avance de cosas que quizá para mi no son tan importantes, como la trama militar. De todas maneras, es una lectura muy entretenida, y quedan solo dos volúmenes, donde quiero saber cómo será su desenlace.

arc provided by the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review

This series has gotten so heart wrenching! After the devastating ending of volume 3, we’re now seeing the effects of what happened as it makes it’s way through these different characters.

A few more plot points get revealed in this volume, which I did guess earlier on but even so, I still enjoyed them and where this story ultimately is going!

This one ended on another cliffhanger of course but it made me so excited to read volume 5! An excellent volume to a fantastic series!

3/5⭐️

Kejadian pada Tenka, membuat sy merasa bahwa plotnya agak melambat lagi Dan saya merasa bahwa reaksi Soramaru, menangis untuk saudaranya dan mengambil alih semuanya tidak dieksploitasi dengan cukup dalam :')) padahal itu menjadi titik kuat dari cerita ini, mungkin Karakarakemuri sensei bisa memberi lebih banyak
Setidaknya di chapter akhir kita mulai menduga2 bahwa itu bukanlah Tenka tapi.....hhe
Lebih banyak lagi hal yg dapat dikonfirmasi. Saya pikir manga ini bersinar ketika 3 bersaudara itu bersama.

Volvió a ralentizarse 😔 Y siento que la reacción de Soramaru, llorando a su hermano y haciéndose cargo de todo no está bien explotada, siendo el punto fuerte de esta historia, podría haber dado más 😭 Al menos se confirmaron más cosas, como el final obvio del tomo. Creo que este manga brilla cuando los 3 hermanos están juntos.

Adoro la copertina di questo volume. Il dolore dei fratelli per la loro perdita è stato reso benissimo, i primi capitolo sono stati davvero molto tristi. Nonostante questo sacrificio, le cose non sembrano migliorare, anzi. Il capitolo finale ribalta la situazione e destabilizza. Perché? Come si è arrivati a questo punto? Per il momento, direi il più bel volume della serie.

Yo tenía un presentimiento y se cumplió, ese único me mató pero el final me revivió era IMPOSIBLE que hubiera muerto, igualmente si lo hubiera echo yo no lo hubiera superado nunca. Me ha encantado el hecho de que los hermanos estén tomando su propio camino aunque sea errado. Me impresiona el paralelismo q están teniendo los hermanos, Tenka y Soramaru. Pero el pequeño pffff…solo pudo q no muera

Wow, the twist with Tenka at the end! That was so cool. I loved the special unit's horrified realization that Tenka's execution was in vain. He had been their brother in arms, after all, it's not something you can just forget...

The grief of the two remaining brothers is emphasised. A truly fascinating story. Well developed despite its brevity. It is enriched with new characters, (surreal) comebacks and chilling twists. The art is always impeccable.

This is a pretty great samurai/ninja manga that took place during the feudal Japan era and a great Japanese mythology manga which I always love!!!👌😻😁🎏🎎🏮🥡💕

Madre mia, que giro, aunque ya me esperaba que fuera una de ellos, me ha gustado, además se les une un nuevo personaje y conocemos mejor a los Lobos y la vida de los hermanos se pone patas arriba.

I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other three, probably because there was no Tenka and also because there was so much happening, it got a bit confusing.

This series is so wonderfully emotional. It’s very underrated and I’m so glad I stumbled across it once upon a time.

Mit einem Teil der Wendung hab ich schon gerechnet, mit dem anderen allerdings nicht. Weiterhin sehr fesselnd! Ich lieb die Atmosphäre in den Bildern so derbe! 🥹

Yeah ok, I should have predicted that. But what even was the point?

1) Deutsche Rezension
Dies begann gut, aber das Ende liess ein paar zu viele Fragen offen. Die Reaktionen von Sora und Chutaro so nah nach Tenkas Tod sind gut ausgeführt und glaubwürdig.
Wir bekommen auch eine gut gehandhabte Hintergrundgeschichte und Entwicklung für Tenka, Chutaro, Sora und die Wölfe, alles durch den Tod von Tenka ausgelöst. Wir bekommen auch einige interessante Informationen durch das "Halbfuma" Mädchen über den Hintergrund des Fuma Clan und warum sie weiße Haare und violetten Augen haben (es ist ziemlich gruselig, was sie tun).
Aber wie ich schon sagte, es hinterlässt ein paar zu viele Fragen. Während der Grund weswegen Chutaro mit dem Attentäter Naoto ging macht Sinn, aber es gibt keinen Grund, warum Naoto ihn mitnimmt, es wird nie erklärt (auch spätere Bände tun es nicht) oder angedeutet. Ich habe auch keine Ahnung, warum der Kerl aus dem Gefängnis entkommen sollte, denn die Serie tut nichts damit.

Plus die ganze Sache mit Tenka so bald fühlt sich wie eine Ausrede an.

2) English Review
This started well, but the ending left a few too many questions open. The reactions of Sora and Chutaro so close after Tenka's death are well executed and believable.
We also get well-handled backstory and development for Tenka, Chutaro, Sora and the wolves, all triggered by the death of Tenka. We also get some interesting information via the "half-fuma" girl regarding the background of the Fuma clan and why they have white hair and violet eyes (it is pretty creepy what they do).
But as I said it leaves a few too many questions. While the reason Chutaro went with the assassin Naoto makes sense, but there is no reason as to why Naoto wants to take him, it is never explained (even later volumes don't do it) and never suggested. I have no idea why the guy was supposed to escape from the prison if the series will not do anything with it.

Plus the whole thing with Tenka so soon feels like a cop out.

Ahora sí, sin flashbacks ni nada confuso, la trama sigue avanzando con un cliffhanger de los que emocionan para el siguiente volumen
