Okay, this volume gets five stars PURELY for that epic fight between Gabimaru and the one Lord Tensen! Holy shit, that fight was INTENSE! And it really showed off what a threat the Lord Tensen are, but our fave convicts aren't slackers either (and THANK YOU, Chobe and Toma are safe! Thank you for sparing my babies!).
But honestly, the rest of the volume was just as good. Great action, nice worldbuilding, fun character interactions, scenes that kicked me in the feels, all good stuff! Gender is oddly a major part of this series and I'm interested in analyzing this prevailing theme and why it's so prominent. Obviously I have to wait until I read more, but I'm looking forward to it.
Not much to say, just a really fun and bombastic volume. Can't wait to see more awesome fights between the convicts and the Lord Tensen!
