The plot still thickens and I’m gobbling this up. It’s been a long time since I’ve read something this good.

Makin seru... tapi membaca komik ini rasanya seperti.... russian doll, yang di dalam boneka ada boneka, di dalemnya ada boneka lagi, lagi, dan lagi... ya seperti itu. Di vol.3 dikasi twist , di vol. 4 ada twist lagi , dan di vol. 5 ini twistnya...
Kira-kira vol.6 di kasi twist apa ya?

"Who said crying was a sign of weakness?
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Humans learn to forget so that they can take it all the sadness and suffering.
There are moments that only you know.
Embrace those memories and cry before you forget."
I love this series with all my heart.

The secret of the Orochi is finally revealed, allies and enemies have drawn clear lines, and the final battle looms over the horizon.
The story is approaching its final arc and everything is in chaos, but I'm not complaining; the pacing couldn't have been better, the characters are coming out in layers, and that plot twist had me groaning and madly gesticulating at walls for two minutes straight . Botan and Hirari were the perfect salve to make the pain almost bearable.
This volume had too many dark revelations, betrayals, and angst going on to have a cute smiling Chuutarou on the cover, but (again) I'm not complaining. I'll just cross my fingers and hope for a happy ending.

Volume turbolento e dalle grandi rivelazioni. , sono rimasta senza parole.
Andando da Sosei, Soramaru ha agito nel modo migliore possibile per se stesso e gli altri, ma a quanto pare non è bastato per la sua incolumità. Comunque, sapevo che sotto quella corazza dura si nascondeva un animo nobile e buono, Sosei non ha deluso le mie aspettative.
Le due anime innamorate che valicano i secoli si sono finalmente ritrovate in questo volume. E' una sotto trama davvero struggente e romantica, mi è piaciuta fin dall'inizio. Nella sua semplicità, l'autrice l'ha gestita bene.

Duh, jilid kelima membuat semacam lompatan yg menunjukkan serial ini begitu seru!!
Sungguh sebuah plot twist yg luar biasa dan itu cukup menyakitkan hha. Semakin taka sabar membaca jilid puncak.
Tenka dan Soramaru tidak banyak muncul dalam volume ini dan itu memungkinkan lebih banyak eksplorasi karakter sekunder, yang tidak pernah diabaikan. Botan dan Hirari bergerak tapi tanpa kehilangan alur ceritanya, Yamainu menunjukkan nilai2 persahabatan yang sangat menarik dengan menyembunyikan Tenka, dan.... Shirasu T___T

NO ME LO ESPERABA
Nos traicionó...si que tenía el presentimiento de que podían ser hermanos o familiares cercanos pero NO esto...no estoy soportando ni tampoco lo del pobre Tenka o sea, putos científicos (irónico). Tengo la esperanza de que Kotaro esté haciendo el papel de su vida y termine matando a su hermano (poco probable). Y me da penita el dúo del hermano menor y el otro, porque Naoto lo sabía todo desde un principio y le utilizaron para que manipulase al pequeño de los Kumo (casi segura), yo también siento lástima por él. Y me ha impresionado el capitán, Botan y Hirahi...

No recordaba ese plot twist y me dolió mucho, sólo espero que esté mejor justificado en el tomo que sigue, igual de momento me gustó.
Tenka y Soramaru no han aparecido tanto en este tomo y eso permitió explorar más a los personajes secundarios, los cuales nunca se descuidan. Botan y Hirari son conmovedores pero sin perder el hilo de la trama, los Yamainu manejan un valor de la amistad muy interesando al mantener oculto a Tenka, y Shirasu... Lo repito, me duele!!!

Totalmente inesperado ese giro de guión, no pensé que los dardos iría por ahí y se nota que la mangaka tenía clarísima cual era la historia a contar, porque todo está pensado para que tenga un sentido. Aún así me falta emoción, me falla un poco en eso este manga, donde la única emoción termina siendo la relación de Botan y Hirari.

Brutal, no para de sorprenderme con las cosas que van pasando!
En este tomo reafirmo que la historia pasada de los personajes del primer primer tomo y los propios personajes me tienen in love, los quiero mucho!

Great revelations in this volume. Revelations that the author did not let me guess at. Well done. Beautiful drawings. Characters too! Brotherly love can crack the hardest of hearts. Looking forward to the final volume.

This is a pretty great samurai/ninja manga that took place during the feudal Japan era and a great Japanese mythology manga which I always love!!!👌😻😁🎏🎎🏮🥡💕

Al final se destapa la traición y el pasado de Tenka se nos presenta y estoy muy intrigada por saber que va a pasar con todos los personajes.

Esto ha pegado un subidón fuerte.

Wow, Tenka's story... Ouch! And nobody knew about it. He's never told anyone. I'm curious if his old army buddies will find out. Or his brothers. And what their reaction will be.

I forgot all about that plot twist.

I'm reminded of FMA's politics and complex plot. Just a little bit.

1) Deutsche Rezension
Ich würde sagen, die erste Hälfte dieses Manga war recht gut, wie wenn Sora wegen allem was geschehen ist zusammenbricht. Man kriegt mehr über Frau Botan und ihre Vergangenheit und welche Pläne der Mann in der Fuchsmaske hat.
Die Erklärung bezüglich was mit Tenka geschehen ist macht irgendwie Sinn, aber es fühlt sich etwas konstruiert an. Allerdings war die Wendung schlimmer. Es macht irgendwie Sinn aber nicht nur wirkt es konstruiert und zu komplex für den Plan eines Kindes, zudem scheint es recht klischeehaft. Nicht zu vergessen dass der Plan sich Orochi anzuschließen ziemlich dämlich scheint, schließlich muss man schon ziemlich dumm sein um nicht zu begreifen dass die Riesenschlange welche ständig als Feind der Menschheit bezeichnet wird und die Erde verwüsten will eine dumme Idee ist.
2) English Review
I would say the first half of this manga was pretty good, like when Sora broke down due to what all happened to him. We get some more about Ms. Botan and her past and as to what plans the guy in the fox mask has.
The explanation as to what happened with Tenka makes kind of sense but it does feel a tad contrived. However the twist of the story is worse. It kind of makes sense but not only does it feel contrived and a too complex plan for a kid, plus it seems quite stereotypical. Not to mention that the plan to ally with Orochi seems really dump, after all how thick must you be not to realize that a giant snake that is constantly stated to be the enemy of all mankind and wanting to desolate the earth is a bad idea?
