L'ex-flic Raizô poursuit non sans mal sa reconversion dans le monde des tueurs à gages aux côtés de Miharu, l'écolière la plus dangereuse du Japon. Au fil de missions toujours plus périlleuses, le duo d'assassins se rapproche petit à petit de sa cible : Saburô Muso, éminence grise de la pègre. Mais le plus grand danger pourrait bien être le passé, qui ressurgit dans le sillage sanglant des deux tueurs.
This is definitely a dark series that isn’t going to work for everyone, but for some reason I’m enjoying it. It took me forever to get to this volume after I read the first volume but the wait paid off. The character development and the commentary on the importance of family was both interesting and well done. This ended on a more cliff hanger so I’ll be checking out the third volume from my library soon.
I really love how dark this gets. This poor child assassin really has issues but the fight scenes are both quickly paced, really bloody at times, and brutal. I have to give props to the artist, they sure know how to do a good action scene. I also like the relationship between the two main leads, as he's almost a grandpa/father figure to the girl. I really dislike the unneeded panty shots, but this is Japan, and it won't stop. That much I can count on.
Fantastic read. Nice artwork, good character dynamics, great action sequences, personal touch. Altogether it's a great read. I will continue with the series.
Gets better and better! I like the back stories, especially the slow way Miharu’s background is going. I enjoy her mysterious grooming as an assassin and look forward to when it’s revealed.
