Shonen Beam

“… and you are?” I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way about Ranmaru.

A Ranmaru flashback? Well, at least it’s short.

Brutal scenes like this are such a big part of the appeal of this series, which is why I’m irritated by how much unnecessary exposition we’ve been given recently. It’s a pure samurai action series; give us action with the bare minimum amount of plot to keep it interesting.

The art in the large panel of page 16 is bizarrely reminiscent of Good Ending. Maybe it’s in the hair.

Final Flash: One moment of action excellence doesn’t make up for the pacing. You have swords! Use them!
