Today's post is on Samurai Deeper
Kyo volume 33 by Akimine
Kamijyo. It is published by Tokyopop and as it is the 33rd
in the series you need to have read the first 32 to understand the
story. The cover has Sasuke on it looking really young. There is no
sex, some mild language, and lots of violence in this volume and
series. The intended reader is someone who likes samurai manga,
surprising romance, and lots of cool swords. Older teens and adults
are really the best readers for this one. The story is told from
third person god perspective with the thoughts of the main
character's added in for plot and character development. There Be
Spoilers Ahead.
From
the back of the book-
Having now defeated both Yuan and Tokito, out intrepid band continues
on to Hishigi's stronghold. There, they find a laboratory full of
children- “test-tube babies”- with crimson eyes, created as part
of the experiment to reconstruct the Mibu Clan! Meanwhile, Yukimura
attempts to save both Sakuya and Yuya from the former Crimson King
and his manservant Chimei. But the king proves himself powerful-
almost too
powerful!
Review-This
volume deals with some of the questions from the last one with
Tokito. She is not Muramasa child but his niece. She falls apart when she
discovers that she was just a tool not someone who matters to anyone
in power in the Mibu Clan but then we move back to Yuya and spend
some serious time with her and her group. The former crimson king is crazy
that is for sure and Kyoshiro is playing both ends against the middle
but he keeps Sakuya and Yuya safe for the moment. I think it's too
bad that Kyoshiro thinks that Kyo's body is the only way for him to
defeat the former crimson king but I do not think that Kyoshiro
really can use Kyo's body at it's best. The only real downside to
this volume is very little Kyo. He is going to fighting in the next
volume and I cannot wait to see him save Akari. Only Five volumes
left. I am going to miss reading this every week.
I
give this volume and series a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing
for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
