Now we're getting to the interesting stuff! (Historically, that is.) Volume 6 of Kaze Hikaru features Taeko Watanabe's take on the Ikedaya affair, one of the most iconic parts of any Shinsengumi story, and Sei gets a starring role, with quite some character development to go with it. I do like Watanabe-sensei's take on Okita's story here, while it veers away from the "traditional" tale a litte, she does have sensible reasons for her version.

This is getting great. (It would probably help if I had anything more than the vaguest notion of events, but I still have to remind myself that the anti-foreigners turned out pro-foreigner and vice versa. I think?)

3.5 stars.

This volume is pure pleasure and the first which I give 5 stars to. We see more action in this volume and the story is focused on Kamiya-san all the time. I'm glad this series got this good (I'm also glad the average user ratings are higher as this series goes on). I only wish I had volume 7 on me right now.

Before it was 3 stars now as the series goes on, I'm changing it to 4. The story is interesting and a lot happens in this one it seems.
