Anguish.
I can't believe there is only one volume left. I cannot handle this.

4.5⭐️ w t a f? Omg, so we know not everybody is going to survive this now and I have a feeling I am going to cry like a baby with the final volume. Ugh. I’m not ready 😭

Everyone will slowly die. This actually has a great farewell to one character and some excellent fight scenes. Next volume is the final and I assume this is going to be depressing.

El final está a la vuelta de la esquina. Este volumen nos regala una vuelta de tuerca respecto del Tensen Rien, que nos ayuda a entender más acerca de sus motivaciones pero no cambia el rumbo de colisión en el que se encuentra con el grupo protagonista. Por el contrario, todo augura una última batalla con él. Una muerte golpea a algunos personajes, y ahora solo queda preguntarse quienes sobrevivirán al final. He leído un volumen tras otro, y en parte me lamento por saber que la historia está por terminar.

Thank you, Yuji Kaku, for sucker-punching me in the gut, kicking me while I was down, and pouring salt and lemon juice into my wounds. It's fine, it's totally fine, my heart isn't destroyed or anything, I'm good. Just gonna go crawl in the fetal position and sob uncontrollably...

We’re winding down to the final manga and it’s bittersweet. So much has happened. A little rushed, but I understood going in that this would never be a long story.
Two yangs, one yin…

Great volume overall. Made me a bit emotional.
Don't care about the newer characters very much, but the original cast is wonderful.
The Aza brothers stuff was my favorite section, and I also enjoyed a lot of the stuff with Gabimaru and his wife, and the stuff with Gantetsusai (his character development is so great).
Excited to finish the manga so I can look up stuff about the series without worrying about spoilers 😜 I foresee the fandom blowing up once the anime comes out.

My mental link from the story is severed due to a long wait for this volume. That's why I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have if I had read it consistently.

This is GOOD SHIT!!!! Truly epic and emotional, and I love all the interplay between the different characters and their conflicts.

We have now only one Volume left...
This Volume broke me! I can't believe what I read!
The way Jikka fights is mesmerized and I knew he was strong, but damn! He could predict every single way he could die if he missed a step and fought only in sync.
Shija was a mentally unstable character who loved Gabimaru and wanted to kill him at the same time. They burned themselves in the face to look like Yui when they learnt that Gabimaru married her, they were obsessed with Gabimaru throughout their life, believed Gabimaru was above all and even killed others that were against Gabimaru. Their fighting style, their character design and their personality reminded me of a snake. They were great in battle and they knew more nimpo techniques than Gabimaru. Their death was something I expected would happen, but I felt sad seeing Shija finally (sort of) confessing to Gabimaru. At least they died by the hand they wanted to.
Chobei died sacrificing himself in order to save the others and his dearest little brother and begged his parents for forgiveness but he doesn't have regrets because he knew he was a good big brother! Oh, his death hurted so much!
Also, that thing Yuzuriha learnt: that only two Yang and one Yin will survive, which means only two males and one female will survive...
Also finding out that the Grandmaster was dead for 700 YEARS and no one realized and that Rien was his wife was absolutely mind blowing!

Holy shit.
Lo que sabía que iba a ocurrir desde que vi a X personaje ha sucedio y me duele pero me gusta, porque ha quedado genial en la historia. Se ha ido el personaje con el mejor desarrollo y trasfondo 😭. Y no ha sido el único en decir adiós...
Este tomo me ha tenido en vilo todo el rato y es el que más me ha hecho sufrir. Y lo que queda...
La historia ha dado un salto increíble en todos los aspectos, así que confíp en que se mantenga o ascienda más en el último tomo. En reseñas anteriores dije que quería más drama y muertes sin que llegara al nivel de Kimetsu. Si lo que cierto personaje ha profetizado, se cumple, Jigokuraku superará con creces a Kimetsu. Y yo me ahogaré en mis lágrimas.

My favorite cover - just so flowery and bright
Gabimura refuses to stop fighting to return to his life and a chance at normalcy
Ads sacrifices himself to stop the arborification of the island and defeat Zhu Jin who was a giant flower monster because that’s what big brothers do- the flashback to him as a little boy, smiling, knowing his job in life was to be a good big brother to Toma was so sweet.
They finally get on to a boat that hasn’t be destroyed by the flower monsters (we find out dragon blade cut a ship in half to get his nickname) and Gabimura confirms this is their final stand.
Got the last book here as I sit by the fire - left fuckin go

Bodies are dropping as we get close to the end! The death of love, foresight leads to a giants demise, we finally learn who's really behind all this, Shugen continues to show his undying spirit, sacrifices are made, and we get a ominous prediction. Onto the finale!

the plot and pacing is incredible, the goodbyes ache like nothing else, and the buildup to the ending in this penultimate volume was cleanly done. i’m ready for the finale!

Band 12 hatte einige spannende Höhepunkte, wie z.B. die Wahrheit über Lien, Shugens & Jikkas Kampfstil & Meis Entscheidung. Die Zeichnungen sind nach wie vor beeindruckend und ästhetisch. Dennoch hatte ich beim Lesen wie schon bei den vorigen 2-3 Bänden das Gefühl, dass sich die Story ein wenig zieht. Nichtsdestotrotz aber gute, schöne und spannende Unterhaltung.

همه فکر میکنن یه دارک فانتزی اکشن هست
ولی نیات گابیمارو چیزی جز عشق و علاقه نیست

Rien jumped up to a top tier villain. I'm so hyped for the last volume. I've been reading one of these every night, but I don't think I can wait for tomorrow. I'll be back in like 40 minutes with my Vol 13 review. 😂

Désormais, plus besoin de présenter cette merveille. On en est au douzième tome et pas une seule fois j’ai été déçue. Chaque tome apporte son lot de surprises, son lot de rebondissements et j’en passe. Chaque tome est un pur plaisir à lire et à découvrir. J’attends chaque sortie de tome avec beaucoup d’impatience. Les couvertures sont de plus en plus belles, je suis vraiment fan!
Dans ce tome, l’action st encore une fois plus que présente. Après que l’attaque synchronisée soit lancée, Shija; un des sainbois les plus puissants du clan Iwagakure défie Gabimaru dans un duel à mort. Gabimaru est dans un premier temps en très mauvaise posture puis fait par penser à sa femme. Le fait de penser à sa femme permet de décupler ses forces!
J’ai ressenti beaucoup d’émotions durant cette lecture. Surtout le passage avec Mes, ceux qui l’ont lu savent de quoi je parle. Dès sa première apparition, je me suis énormément attachée à elle. Elle est si pure, si touchante, si adorable. C’est d’ailleurs, un de mes personnages préférés du manga. J’ai adoré la voir aider Gabimaru et les autres. C’est vraiment un des meilleurs personnages.
Encore une fois, la fin nous laisse sur un énorme suspense. Je n’ai qu’une hâte avoir le prochain tomes entre mes mains. L’attente est toujours longue et une fois le tome sorti il est très vite lu d’ailleurs! Vivement la suite, je sens que le prochain tome va être incroyable!

5/5 Stars (%85/100)
This was a great volume! My favorite is still volume 9 but this one also had great fight scenes, emotional moments and big revelations. Gabimaru is still probably my favorite but man some of the characters are also great. I've mentioned before that you can relate to pretty much anyone because the world of Jigokuraku is not simply black and white. I'm sad that this is going to end but all good things come to an end. Hopefully, the ending will be satisfactory and somewhat happy (though I'm not sure of the latter due to the nature of the series).
