>>284468089Everyone in this story is despicable. It was difficult reading through it. It also has this creepy claustrophobic vibe to it.

>>284466363It isn't Romantic, but it is very fetishized in another way.I'd call it Marxist, probably.
>>284468441You either die for something cool or you have to bear the inanity of living as a warrior caste member decades after the last war.
>>284466873Yujiro just got mogged to death

>>284466596My favorite trope is "guy who explains exactly how the story will play out but is ignored". There's another guy who does the same thing later on.
>>284466554Two months ago was two years ago.

>>284468330uh i've seen that stance in the wolf manga
>>284469416honestly, i think the lack of honour by the big guy is quite shameful.
Thanks for posting, OP.Just as great as on any other re-read. Probably the greatest rivalry in manga, only the good, long gone, part of Berserk compares.
>>284466873Erotic
>>284470772oh, so that's why he had all those broken teeth even before.
>>284471959thanks op.

>>284468265That's feudal Japan for you.
>>284467777>>284467798Very Baki.
I read the novel for the first time and it's amazing how much the manga added. The story of Gennosuke and Seigen in the book is like 10 pages long and it's one of the less interesting stories; their whole rivalry is just about the women. Basically everything except the two's signature techniques is original to the manga.All the crazy details in this volume alone: the pressure point stuff, the "beautification," the bean-cutting initiation, Kogan being senile but still deadly. All manga-original.
Bump
mie my beloved..
>>284471582I can't believe it's been two weeks already. I still remember the fish edit of Mie.
>>284466289WTF? It hasn't been 2 years already surely!?
>>284468441That was the whole point of shigurui, and you summed up exactly why the ending happened
>>284466873Is this achievable natty?
>>284470325Were commoner girls really so cute?
