It's baaaaaaaaaaaack!
Finally, a group picked up this amazing series. Hopefully the gap between releases won't be as long this time around.

Plenty to sad moments in both 145 and 146. I guess the characters are finally making preparations for the upcoming war, leaving those that might hold them back. Though that wouldn't be the case for Habaki Kagimura. He may be have been a bastard for overseeing the immortality experiments and wasting the lives of hundreds of prisoners but having his family kill themselves for his sake was heartbreaking.

Hell yeah I can finally read this again. Seeing his family kill themselves shitty even for someone like him.

And am I the only one that's starting to dislike Rin. I mean seriously, talking to Anotsu like that after all that has happened is just weird. But it might be just me and I forgot something from a while ago.

^I couldn't remember what you were talking about at first. I don't remember how many chapters ahead I've look at the raws, so this totally slipped my mind. But yes, very heartbreaking.
I don't find it shitty that Rin was talking to Anotsu either. I don't think she'll end up wanting him dead in the end either. After all, remember what her grandfather told her about forgiving him. I hope she doesn't anyway want him dead anyway. Anotsu is one of my favorite characters.

I guess I forgot about what her grandfather said. Of course Anotsu didn't do that much wrong but his men did and he didn't stop them.

But yeah I guess Anotsu isn't considered a villian anymore and Rin and Manji will help him out.

Sorry for making you do so much research though xD. But the reason I'm like this could just be because I haven't read this manga in a long time.

Research? I didn't do any research. lol I had already looked at the raws for several chapters ahead of this if that's what you're referring to?

As far as Anotsu, he did give Rin's father a chance to surrender the dojo and nobody would have been killed if I remember right??? idk, it's been so long ago. lol
I hated Anotsu at the very beginning, but as they developed him he grew on me, and like I said has become one of my favorite characters. This is going to sound really weird, but at the end of all of this I really wouldn't mind seeing Rin and Anotsu end up together and Manji finally being able to rid himself of his immortality and be able to die. ManjiXRin lovers are going to hate me for that one. XD

Damn,they really got me feeling for Habaki now eventhough he was the main villain in the last arc. His devotion to the shogunate has cost him his position and now his family, yet he still persists in his loyalty to them. The hunter has now become the hunted.

Also interesting that the last remaining itto ryu members who were present the night Rin's family got killed, anotsu and magatsu were the only ones shown to have a humane side and moral compass. Killing them is not going to be the same as the others. Now this is what you call good writing.
