| Yaaay~! Well I've already downloaded it all and read vol. 1, and I super duper love it! Even though there are parts I don't really understand. Still, I'm so so excited to read the rest!! however I'm being *super* swamped with schoolwork. sob. |
| There will be none. |
| I've finished through volume 9 so far. I'm liking it so far. Looking forward to reading more of it. The kid looks kinda funny looking. He has a big head, haha. |
| Umm one chapter stands out in this group that I dont understand.. for various reasons So the child needs to be feed and they hired samurai says that to the one seeking his help.. He says the women is still a women and still clings for a young man and next we see is breastfeeding.. I don't understand the flow of that conversation and what the women really needed.. unless they were trying to make a weird remark that women need to breastfeed to make themselves better... It is a very early work but I hope I misunderstood this wrong -_- |
 |
| The child needs to be fed and the woman needs to feed because her child was just killed? You know? |
| There will be none. |
| Must have missed that her child was just killed. That makes it easier to understand and a whole lot better. I thought it was a weird progression, glad that was cleared up. Anyways finished to chapter 11.. Not really following volumes but I'll try to keep as close to chapters per week to finish on time. Anyways I like this series.. Sometimes to much text and I skip a few bubbles. |
| |
| Mm I had some parts I couldn't understand at first either. It's really episodic too. I read the text though I think it's interesting. Lots of religion stuff but I like those things so yeah. Basically I really really really like it LOL super GAR |
| There will be none. |
| At chapter 44.. around vol 8 so still far off... I'll try catching up faster now Anyways I like the hidden plot of wanting to avenge his clan and also to find out why that other clan wanted his post.. although to me it seems its because they want to control the whole political power.. although I'm not sure how that post accomplishes that. |
| |
| Back to my usual spam on top of spam :) Anyways chapter 60.. :) I love the plot. So we figure out that the paper that he stole had a special type of ink that makes it glow in the dark and most likely no one knows about it. My guess is that in case of a major message they use a different ink and thus won't glow so they will know which one to look for and decrypt it... Although that's the only thing I can think of too this point.. can't wait till I read more :) |
| |
| go triple spam!!! up to chapter 100 and almost on track.. I think 4 vol behind... anyways while I still love the series I am starting to get annoyed with how many dead bodies he leaves behind him and still escapes alive.. I can understand they need him alive to keep the series going on but its more like a slaughter right now.. I do wish he would have lost some how and than was saved by another individual and had an arc about that experience. Sure I hate those types of arcs but its better than being super strong and never losing for 100 chapters strait. Still on his merry way and finally reached edo.. So will it finish after he killed the last yaugu (sorry forgot the correct spelling atm) or will something else come up. I am really curious about what he does with the gold.. if he doesn't want it to bribe his way into his clan than whats its purpose. right now I'm leaning towards he send its to the victims that he killed.. I mean their relatives.. but that's only if they haven't thought of another use by the end... This is the mystery that I'm most curious about and not the clan hes trying to destroy and it was introduced by the series and not by myself so I believe it has to have some big purpose. |
| |
| major turn of events... so the gold was used to buy explosives so the son could use a weapon.. never thought of that... 420k ryo... omg so much!!! anyways the crazy poison guy still lives.. i seriously hope he trips and dies by something very fast... maybe his own poison... like next chapter? to hard to ask? so the final showdown soon... or is it? what will happen afterward.. the gold is solved.. we doubt he will get his clan back or go into the shogun again.. what could there be left other than to kill himself and I doubt it would take 50 chapters to do that.. unless he wants to walk over all the dead bodies from edo... at chapter 114 btw and I'm now caught up I think... actually i'm ahead.. in the middle of vol 23.. |

| Finished 137 now. I was wondering how it would extend and they just take a small idea and turn it into 4 chapters each.. although now I see how this will turn out and keep on going. I feel so bad for that 12 year old that died for grass :( total dedication and gave his life for his cause.. also the way they played that scene got me partially emotional.. anyways if this wasn't a manga I would say that the main guy ratsuguo should have a battle but the grass would arrive a few days later.. that way itto would kill himself for believing he destroyed his enemy.. or at least I would believe so if he thought everything was done.. I wonder what will happen after he completes what he has set out to do.. will he live on or kill himself.. or on the off change will someone else kill him? only time will tell.. |
| |
| oh its finished... 142.. here i was thinking it was till 16x... anyways my final thoughts End rant... Can't wait for the next series we decide to finish. :) |
| |
| Okay, finished this. It was pretty good. I would give it a 8/10. The ending was nice and it was a lot about life and its meaning. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to read a good serious manga. :) |
