Today’s post is on Samurai
Deeper Kyo volume 31 by Akimine Kamijyo. It is published by Tokyopop. As it
is the 31st in the series you need to have read the first 30 to
understand the story. The cover has Hotaru on it looking cool. There is some
language, implied nudity, and lots of violence in this volume. The intended
reader is someone who likes samurai manga, lots of characters, and unexpected
love stories. The story is told from third person god perspective with thoughts of character’s added in for character and plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Yuan and Hotatu’s duel
rages on until, in the height of battle, Hotaru’s eyes turn crimson! What’s
behind this strange occurrence? Meanwhile, Yuya is being held prisoner by
Kyoshiro at the top of the Onmyoden. Rather than wait around like a princess,
Yuya decides to escape on her own. But as she’s making her getaway, she runs
into an old friend who is more than meets the eye…
Review- Like in the last volume this one is pretty
much all about Hotaru and him making peace with his past. Lots of action and
character growth. Yuya is just in the last 17 pages so she is not a important
as the blurb makes her sound. We get hints about what coming with Akira and
Benitora but mostly this is about Hotaru. He is not as funny as normal but hey
character growth. We see where he came from, how he survived, and who really
taught him. Shinrei is funny this time without meaning to be. But no real
answers about the red eyes, other than Kyo’s are natural. Everyone else’s is
because of giant evil plot that we still do not know really much about. I cannot
wait for Kyo to get to Kyoshiro. Kyo’s more than a little pissed about the
whole kidnapping Yuya thing. I wish that I could put some hope on the Yuya
meeting Sakuya meaning something but I do not think that it will come to anything. Only seven
volumes left.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars.I get nothing
for my review and I bougth this manga with my own money.
