Anyone who knows me well is aware of my reasons for staying. I thought the beautiful anatomy scenes were really great. And Marie, the sister, who is so adorable, is someone I am looking forward to.

‘’With my generation, I will end this cursed family line. And one day, I will create a world without executions— that is my vow to you ..!’’

Decent enough to make for an entertaining reading, but the writing is still very amateurish. For example, a better writer would have known how to communicate Charles' change in a less jarring way.

But I find the premise interesting enough to wish to continue with the story. Let's see where it goes...

[Monsour · Rating 4 out of 5]

This volume is focus on the early days of Chevalier Charles-Henri Sanson de Longval as france royal executioner.



and the concept of the social cause/society of the old regime.


France back then were divided into three estates:

First Estate
High-ranking members of the Church aka. Clergy(higher or lower)
Privileged classes

Second Estate
Nobility: like the nobility of the sword(the Sanson's are in this category) or nobility of the robes. There mostly government official or soldiers with ranks.
Monarch.

Third Estate
Everyone else - from peasants in the countryside/cities, wealthy or non-wealthy merchants, blacksmits, whores, labourers, etc.(all of them are unprivileged)

Volume 2 Continues With All The Advantages in Volume One and Goes Deep into building it characters and introducing supporting ones, the art work is bloody and describes what our protagonist is facing but there are still some issues with some panels I can’t get anything out of them or sometimes the art work quality drops by a little bit especially with the edges drawing I don’t know if it’s an issue with the source I’m reading from or is it from the original material

Que cruel y denso todo, dios, en verdad me ha dejado en shook

[isa · Rating 4 out of 5]

sinto que esse mangá tem tudo que um leitor quer encontrar
tem bons personagens
tem um desenvolvimento de personagem tremendo, inclusive dos secundários
tem uma trama principal que se entrelaça com tramas paralelas
a arte é simplesmente linda
mas estou guardando o 5 estrelas porque sinto que os próximos tomos podem me surpreender

[Lepicentrecult · Rating 4 out of 5]

Toujours autant passionnant. Ce tome est beaucoup plus explicite. Attention il y a du contenu pour adulte plusieurs fois. Ce tome est plus profond, plus sombre. On découvre un peu plus sur cette famille et les dynamiques qui s’en dégage. Nous avons un Charles Henri qui exècre les exécution. Mais qui doit vite reprendre la successiion de son père.

sincera, i disegni sono così sublimi che mi hanno messo ansia tanto da aver interrotto la lettura.
Ho deciso di riprenderla proprio perché la trama è molto bella e sono molto curiosa di sapere come si evolverà.
Volume fantastico, macabro e crudo in pieno mio genere.

Este ha sido espectacular. Las metáforas visuales, el ritmo y el dibujo brutal de Sakamoto componen una obra maestra.

[Casper Paaske · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is actually the closest this series ever gets to making a comprehensible narrative.

[Nastas'ja Filippovna]

Che volume magnifico ho amato i disegni e alcuni panel come quelli all'inizio durante la decapitazione fallimentare

[Angie Ospino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Simplemente bello y depresivo.

[Araceli.libros · Rating 3 out of 5]

El arte sigue siendo espectacular, pero no pude dejar de notar ciertas repeticiones en la trama. Si ya empezamos así con los primeros tomos… Espero que esta tendencia cambie en el futuro.
Además, el cambio de actitud del protagonista respecto a su destino no está bien explicado, no tiene mucho sentido para mí.
Otra cosa es que parece que el mangaka quiere tentar a sus lectores con la promesa de más y más explícitas torturas… medio fucked up.

Review en ESPAÑOL
Empiezo a notar la diferencia en Charles, y puedo apreciar mejor los otros aspectos de su personalidad.
Respecto a la historia: Cautiva. Es lo que me hizo seguir leyendo.
Respecto al arte: Hermoso. Es un poco impresionante al principio, hasta chocante, pero luego de que me acostumbré al realismo llegué a amarlo.

Review in ENGLISH
I begin to notice the difference in Charles, and I can better appreciate the other aspects of his personality.
Regarding the story: Captive. It's what kept me reading.
Regarding art: Beautiful. It's a bit impressive at first, even shocking, but after I got used to realism I came to love it.

Una vez situada en las circunstancias de la historia, continua mi interés y fascinación por esta historia y su forma de narrarla, porque a pesar de lo escabroso del asunto, el autor no toma la vía gore (aunque si emocionalmente impactante, porque Charles parece tener un punto Jessica Fletcher... personaje que se encuentra y le cae bien, personaje que tiene que dar matarile....y claro, así uno se trauma rápido), bueno.... el caso es que el autor toma la vía de la metáfora para ilustrar un corte de cuello o un desangramiento.

La historia avanza y se nos van dado detalle del futuro de un personaje secundario, que puesto en paralelismo con el protagonista sus diferencias y similitudes resultan muy interesantes.

[selden · Rating 3 out of 5]

has potential, but it’s already starting to feel a little predictable… i hope it switches it up and like this doesn’t keep happening cause

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

the second charles starting helping this man i’m like yup he’s gonna have to execute him… and guess what’s happening now… he has to execute him. it’s only the 2nd time this is happening so there’s a chance this pattern will stop, but idk with that little nun girl too it seems like it’s gonna keep happening. hopefully when marie grows up and she becomes a central character it’ll get now interesting. i’m gonna hold out for that

edit: i don’t think marie becomes a MC until the sequel🫤wtv i will persist

This volume was steal pushing with the dark tone. It was so graphic and triggering. A lot of heavy topics were brought up and mentioned. Our main character is growing. He’s pushing through his duties even though he hates it. The class system and it’s flaw are introduced to Charles-Henri and how messed up the nobles are to the lower class. He realizes he’s not the only one with problems

Loving this protagonist, continues to disturb and amaze.
