Shonen Beam

[chapter link]

This is a rarity in shonen: The leader falling in battle before his subordinates. Very interested in what will happen next.

It’s somewhat of a pity that he gets in some last words. I thought the ending to the last chapter was great.

Middle panel, p12: What an unsettling blank stare. Excellently drawn.

The two-page spread here is an example of an acceptable lack of background. Used sparingly, it can achieve great effect.

Shigure? I suppose I should have been trained by shonen always to keep an eye on the weak one, but this surprised me.

Final Flash: Right back into the action, then. Someone really should have been keeping an eye on that box.
