Orient 9

オリエント [Orient] #9

by Shinobu Ohtaka

The night before the battle, a surprise attack by Shiro and Seiroku renders the Uesugi Army's main force unable to fight, and leaves them on the brink of destruction. After this casts a pall over the Awaji Island Recovery Operation, the Uesugi Band's keys to victory lie in Kuroko's strategy and the awakening of the Obsidian Goddess... The Awaji Island arc reaches its thrilling climax!

The re-read continues! The true Awaji Island Siege has officially begun. A battle of wits, and demon metal blades. It's always fun to see some classic "outsmarted your outsmarting" in a battle Shonen. With a series that's largely about fighting people with big swords, I love a couple characters that are just smarter than everyone else being smart.

This volume was the most exciting yet. The war between the Demon God and our heroes begins here! I love the cat and mouse chess like game the tacticians play against each other. It was so fun to read! I'm so pumped for the future of the series!

Schwieriger Band und auch irgendwie Reihe. Kommt nicht wirklich in Schwung finde ich...

A great volume, this series is really hitting hard, what with the battles and strategic back and forth! Also I feel I need to say this again but the art is amazing!
