Product Description: Kazuki inadvertently reveals his identity as an Alchemist Warrior to the Hayasaka twins, members of the L.X.E. (League of Extraordinary Elects), when he activates his Buso Renkin in front of them. After Tokiko and Kazuki take on the twins in a late-night battle, they learn the location of the L.X.E. headquarters, and head there along with Captain Bravo. Intending to put an end to Dr. Butterfly's organization, they discover that yet another evil plan has been set in motion...
A wonderful continuation to a great series. This volume of Buso Renkin introduces twin anti-heroes who continue to act as wild cards until the end of the series. They're strong characters who add to an already great cast.
Buso Renkin's strength is that it takes an overdone plot--boy awakens to superpowers and fights evil--and makes it fresh with wacky and interesting characters, great fight scenes and a sense of fun that engages the reader. It kept me laughing out loud when I wasn't on the edge of my seat. It is, overall, entertaining.
