Blade of the Immortal, Vol. 15: Trickster by Hiroaki Samura, Hiroaki Samura
2.0
Volumes 10-13 of this series were so good in how they changed the preconceptions of the series that I worried that they would soon be undone, and all the characters would digress to their previous states.
And they have.
This is a boring, poorly edited volume. There are word balloons out of place, a few "your/you're" style grammatical errors by the translators, and the action sequences are back to being difficult to follow.
The story is once again cycling through different characters reappearing to have one big moment, and then disappear again to the background. Gone is the well-paced an enriching story of Anotsu, replaced by Remember This Character? Now He's Dead. Remember This Character Who Died? He's Still Alive. Shocking Revelation. Move On. Shocking Revelation. Move On.
It's boring.
I hope we can go back to plots advancing character again, as opposed to letting the characters advance the plot.
