The portions of this story involving the return of Shira and how the two new characters fit into the overall arc fall somewher between mediocre and snooze-inducing. But, after a few volumes where only saw the Itto Ryu sitting down and providing exposition to the protagonists, we finally get to see them be badass again.

The actual Massacre storyline is Prime Blade Of The Immortal. It's fun, it's violent, it's fast paced, and it makes you feel conflicted about who you're rooting for in this series, and why. This was my favorite story to take place in Edo Castle. I wasn't excited about the story returning there but it ended up paying off really well.

Aptly titled.

I am not sure I can properly rate this volume. There is an act so violent, I am left unsettled and wishing I had not seen it.
