Lenni Reviews: “Kagurabachi” Vol. 1, by Takeru Hokazono
/
*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
Chihiro Rokuhira, son of the most famous swordsmith in the land, Kunishige . When Kunishige is killed and six of his enchanted swords stolen, Chihiro goes on a mission to recover the lost blades and avenge his father’s murder.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting a period piece like Steel of Celestial Shadows but the clothes are more modern and there are flip phones. This kicks off with some great battles and lore. A lot was unexpected and fresh; Kunishige is kind of a goof instead of a grumpy, vengeance driven sword master and I really like it. The art style give us some beautiful fights and abilities and in general has a fast pace with a wide variety of characters. I look forward to more. 4 out of 5.
