Last volume's vicious battle continues -- and a popular, key character
meets a grisly end! With the help of some new allies, Manji and Rin may
have a fighting chance, but can a wounded and road-weary Magatsu hold
his own against an invigorated, freshly armed foe? Hiroaki Samura's
spellbinding masterpiece finds several major story lines finally
beginning to dovetail. As some characters' strange paths are beginning
to converge, is Samura's epic study on revenge and survival beginning to
wind its way toward a massive, final confrontation?
