Chihiro Rokuhira, son of the most famous swordsmith in the land, Kunishige . When Kunishige is killed and six of his enchanted swords stolen, Chihiro goes on a mission to recover the lost blades and avenge his father’s murder.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting a period piece like Steel of Celestial Shadows but the clothes are more modern and there are flip phones. This kicks off with some great battles and lore. A lot was unexpected and fresh; Kunishige is kind of a goof instead of a grumpy, vengeance driven sword master and I really like it. The art style give us some beautiful fights and abilities and in general has a fast pace with a wide variety of characters. I look forward to more. 4 out of 5.

In order to protect Hamster Master Arashiyama, Gero not only has to face the Hit Man Hunter but the entire Beast Clan on their home turf including Beast Master Toshiro Dogo, the head of the clan.

This volume has a ton of action and Arashiyama is really funny. Of course, I’m a sucker for cute animals and watching little hamsters come in so handy is a fun part of the general cool factor of all these different abilities. It’s overall tense with some amusing moments but it really expands the assassination world and ups the threat. Beast Master Toshiro is also very, VERY creepy. 4 out of 5.

While acting as a body guard for Shiori, Gero faces the Sound Master Naruko. Then Gero must confront his next big challenge: attending his close friend’s wedding.

I mean… Given what we’ve gone through in this volume alone, there’s no way the wedding would be remotely normal. They also introduce the Hitman Hunter so, this volume is flying through plot points while I’d honestly hoped for more quality time with Mei and Gero. Not even for those two nutjobs to get together but because they’re so much fun to see interact. 3 out of 5.

After Hikaru does battle with a water master to save Hemekawa, an art thief, his next assignment is to be the bodyguard of a young woman with social anxiety who has been targeted by a sound master.

While this can get goofy when Hikaru tries to be romantic, this volume has a lot of fighting and action with challenging opponents for Hikaru. He’s a force to be reckoned with so I think his family should just let the man work because he’s a brilliant assassin and it’s not like he’s super old and can’t sire the required heir later on. Let the man cook, geez… But still, it’s really entertaining and creative. 4 out of 5.
