Really enjoying it! I'm reading it for the characters, plot, and history, but it's worth noting that the realism of swordsmanship is refreshingly better than most manga.

Thanks for your hard work!

Very interesting samurai period drama. Follows the story of a... ghetto version of Shinsengumi. Peasants turned (disposable) warrior, dying a dog's death. Very gritty, totally the vibe of manga that will not have a happy ending.

this should have a sexual violence tag

Where's the romance?

This series goes criminally underappreciated.

@zawarudo you are so right. There's one for every five dozen. I've been looking for this.
Thank you, translators!

Is this a universe where no one have bones?

This is one of the few series lately where I actually get emotionally entangled with the characters. So incredibly good.

Damn, half a year. Gonna feel that one. Just hope it isn't some huge cliffhanger. ;_;
Thanks for working on this.

Just a heads-up: this time we were a little quicker scanlating the volume. The next chapter is the last of volume 3 and it will be half a year or so until volume 4 is out.

Ugh, I'm not looking forward to the next chapter.

Way outside of my typical genre zone, but I know top quality when I see it.

A long time since I read something this good.

This is quite an interesting read. I'd put it up there with Vagabond somewhat. The art is a bit unusual though. ^_^' A little more rough. But I guess as others have said, that it lends itself quite well to the story.
