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.

a well told but darker series than I was expecting...especially going by the art

I really enjoy this series!

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.

This series is really good so far. Some thrilling, action-heavy assassination sequences with a good amount of drama, plus a surprisingly wholesome relationship in the middle of it all between Raizou and Miharu. I’m interested to see how this develops in the next volume.

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.

We never know people’s family circumstances 😔

First DNF of the year. I do not do that often. I’m not going to read a book that is going to sexualize its protagonist (a 5th grader). WTF!
