Today’s post is on Samurai
Deeper Kyo Volume 15 by Akimine Kamijyo. It is published by Tokyopop and is
the 15th in the series. You need to have read the previous volumes
to understand the story. The cover has Kyo, Yukimura, Benitora, and Sasuke on
it looking cool. There is language, implied nudity, and lots of violence in
this book and series; older teen and adults only. The story is told from god
prespective with character thought’s added in for plot and character
development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Kyo and company finally
penetrate the Mibu headquarters. Later, while fighting off an onslaught of Mibu
assassins, Bontenmaru and Akira fall into an enemy trap! But when Bontenmaru
encounters Tokito of the Four Elders, he learns an amazing secret… The
action-packed samurai epic continues!
Review- Kyo and Yuya have so many great interactions
in this volume. They argue, they ignore each other, and then they talk about
it. The picture of a healthy and loving relationship that makes me laugh. Bontenmaru
gets his own chapter. We learn more about what drives him and yay! Akira is a
main character now! We do not see too much of him but I am so happy that he is
here and here to stay now. Saskue and Benitora are getting closer to being back
with the main group and that gives us the chance to see into the Mibu testing
labs. One thing that I really like about Kamijyo’s art style is that she does
not over do the gore. In the test labs she could have made it really gory and I
think that would have taken away from the story and character development. But
because she did not go that way I think that makes the blood that is there more
impactful. With time running out for Yuya the pressure is on. I love this series.
I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing
for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
