Product Description: As Rin frets over her bodyguard Manji's disappearance, she is surprised by the arrival of two traveling warriors, the feisty, headstrong Doa Yoshino and her huge, brutish companion, Isaku Yasono-okami. Rin quickly regrets her decision to let this strange couple stay with her, but her detective work takes priority when she returns to the stronghold of Habaki Kagamura to search for Manji. Meanwhile, Kagimura's medical examiners begin to test the seemingly immortal Manji, who is imprisoned, chained and a very unwilling toy in their merciless hands!
Science Fiction Well, even if there's no action in this trade paperback, you will be delighted by all the gore and real life questioning and solutions that we can expect from a study of that immortal body. And this book also has that teasing felling that its smooth pace only means that a lot of action is coming in the next one. At least, that's what I hope (that's why I pre-ordered it...).
As always Excellent book. This won't disappoint fans of the series. We cannot get enough.
