I'm really enjoying this series but will say that this particular one took a creepy turn that I wasn't expecting. However, despite the gross factor, I am still wanting to see how this continues.
Wow - that's a hell of a thing. Decidedly not for kids - at all. Contains one of the most extreme single pages I've seen in my 35+ years of reading comics... I just kind of stared at it, laughing uneasily, for about 30 minutes before I was able to read on. Besides that, the story is pretty good, and the quest for the Holy Grail continues with all the complications and confusions likely to arise.
When the manga is more brutal than the anime . . .
and of course anything having to do with Sakura hits me hard. This was a tough volume, and the next one isn't going to be any easier. Such a brilliant story.
Starts off with some action, then delves into a fair bit of backstory. Some of which takes a turn for the 'fucked up' ~ explains why this particular volume was wrapped in shrink-wrap...
Not nearly enough Saber, but she was back in that cute all-black suit, so that was a plus.
