I should stop but I can't.....
Unsure about this. The art was okay, the story was weird... I dunno. I'm told I need to give at least the next volume a shot but compared to what I've been reading, it doesn't hold up.
Mainly action-oriented, but with some surprising moments along the way. Miura's hinted at Griffith's fate, but in this volume, we see it explicitly realized. Again the story has transitioned into set-up mode and the reader gets the feeling that Miura is setting the groundwork for more momentous even...
Review for entire series to follow when I'm caught up...
This was pretty good! I'll add more of a review later on.
This book is incredibly dark, and violent. At this point in the series, I'd say that Guts is an incredibly unlikable protagonist - unless you had seen the anime or otherwise knew what happened in the Golden Age arc - which would inform your opinion of Guts' actions a little more.
A bit too naturalistic for me. Sex and guts, and the art style really irks me. Reading on nevertheless.
I never thought I'd say it, but that Parental Advisory label is very well put.... ugh.
