Today’s post is on Samurai
Deeper Kyo volume 18 by Akimine Kamijyo and it is published by Tokyopop. As
it is the 18th in the series you need to have read the previous
volumes to understand the story. This is one of my favorite covers for the
series. It has Kyo and Yuya on it; Yuya looking pretty and Kyo looking all Kyo
like but it is just so beautiful and I think that it reflects their
relationship too perfectly. There is strong language, lots of violence, and
implied nudity in this volume; older teen and adult only. The story is told
from third person god point of view with character’s thoughts added in for plot
and character development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- After his battle with
Saishi, Akira collapses! Bontenmaru can carry him through the Second Gate, but
there they must choose between two doors… Meanwhile, Izumo-no-Okuni searchers
for the same mysterious jewel that Kyo seeks. But then she runs into Taihaku or
the Five Stars, who makes her an offer she can’t refuse…
Review- Back story about what happened between Akira
and Okuni. Side character development and who really killed Mahiro’s sister. So
much happens in this volumes lots of plot development but sadly very little
character growth. Okuni is the only one who gets growth because of her
interaction with Taihaku. She is still trying to help Kyo get his body back so
she has gotten into the Mibu headquarters and has some fun. Then we get back to
the exciting parts. Mahiro’s sister was murdered and for years Mahiro thought
that Kyo was the one to kill her. But now we discover the truth and more
fighting ensues. So Kyo gts really angry and gets real in this fight. Very dramatic with emotional tension and of course really great art. I love how detailed Kyo's eyes are. With him his soul really is in his eyes.
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.
