Well, this is certainly not as good as the previous volume but it’s still okay. I like that series is finally trying to give the characters some more depth because it’s working… most of the time.

What I enjoy the most about this volume is definitely Iori’s backstory. I love how it gives Samura layers that this man needed. He is probably the most compelling character in the story currently. I hated him in the previous volume because he killed the other swordbearer but now I just can’t hate him. I mean, it’s not like he’s doing anything out of his own malicious intent. He is doing what he feels it’s right and also… dude was given the choice between helping that stupid organization and dying so this is not much of choice either way.

I also really like Iori, especially when she was child and kept calling her dad a loser. But like, it’s really convenient that as soon as the seal broke she became a master with the sword. I don’t know, I just don’t buy that the change would be so big.

I also like the blond dude whose name I forgot. He is just insane and thus a really enjoyable character overall. I love how his fighting style is just slashing around really fast.

But the biggest problem I have with this volume is the pacing. For some reason everything just feels really slow and like it’s not getting anywhere. Sure, the backstory is great but everything else is just so stretched out and I don’t like it. And oh, the inclusion of Iori’s classmate was totally unnecessary because he does nothing for me.

I’m going to give this 3 stars. I was thinking about 4 stars but then again, I don’t feel like the story was enjoyable overall outside of the backstory.

4.5 - Another banger. I have a few things to mention that I thought while reading. The first is that I love how easy it is to follow most of what’s going on compared to Jujutsu Kaisen for example which can often be confusing. I like getting more lore on Samura and his daughter and even seeing her pull out all the stops after breaking the seal. I like seeing Chihiro leveling up without using Enten too. I also like how in order for him to get stronger story-wise the obstacle was added of Samura knowing if they drew their enchanted swords and coming after them. Which happened at the end and makes for a really good volume ending.

bro i dont even know what to say anymore. reading this shit week to week is unlike anything else. IORI. GOATED. CHIHIRO. GOATED. SAMURA. GOATED. my insane boy HIRUHIKO??? ugh love him. outside of the amazing action and set pieces and art work, it is the emotional core of this story that makes it amazing. the flashback with samura, his wife, and iori... one of the best chapters in the series hands down. and there is no action. GOD. I LOVE FATHER DAUGHTER DYNAMICS SO MUCH UGH
