Blade of the Immortal Volume 4: On Silent Wings by Hiroaki Samura

5.0

The first half contains the first major turn in the story as we get to see the main villain from the story explain his side of things while having one of thr protagonists completely at his mercy. And, yes, he monologues, but he doesn't monologue an evil plan or talk about what a genius he is. His monologue explains why he's done the things that the protagonists think of as Terrible. And, they still are pretty terrible. But, like Magneto in better X-Men stories, you can tell that he thinks he's doing the right thing. And it's not too much of a stretch to things from his perspective.

The second half deals with the reprecussions of the first half and how it causes the characters to evolve.

If you like a long form story where, instead of repeating the same scenarios in slightly different fashion, the characters actually adapt to a changing environment, confront their shortcomings, and grow, then this is the manga story for you.
