From the author of Gunslinger Girl comes a manga set in (somewhat old) Japan.>The Edo period has ended, and former samurai Haruyasu is adrift in a strange new world. Not even the promise of rebellion can cure him of his desire for death. But after an assassination gone wrong, Haruyasu finds himself at the mercy of his intended victim's bodyguard, an intriguing young woman with the power to heal–so intriguing, in fact, that he decides he wants to live in order to learn more about her. But what will she ask in return for saving his life?Previous chapters:Chapter 1 to 3>>291698837 Chapter 4 and 5>>291779696 Chapter 6 to 9>>291822980
My bad its chapter 11 "Fading Memories"Sorry for the confusion!
I enjoy Yu Aida's historical facts
Yu Aida seems to have a fascination with European history too, reminds me of Ashiq and his attempts to study abroad to make his country more relevant.
Neat nickname he got
Chapter end! And so perhaps one life is worth protecting (getting Hillshire and Triela vibes here)
>>291914474Haruyasu, that literally means you are in love.
>>291914870He doesn't understand.
>>291914870>>291916099He will learn.
>>291914447Lol. Good reaction image
>>291916470He is a clever one after all
I don't really get the plot or conflict? Shino is pretty obviously on the wrong side of history in trying to kill her demented whore mother, no-one holds any animosity towards one another, everyone is trying to do right by everyone else in a changing world. Is there some 2DEEP4YOU buddist wisdom I'm missing or something?
>>291917560Its about honor, something a westerner wouldn't get
>>291916470Will he betray them?
>>291917560Shino cares about her family. Her mother wants to die. And Shino doesn't want to kill her and keep living herself, as an immortal tool.
>>291921668Also her mother has alzheimers
>>291922390I get that she has very little agency, but she's still living a life of plenty surrounded by people who are fond of her.
>>291923047Agreed, so far it seems like she is okay with it too
>>291923618Only the parts where she's not being raped presumably
>>291923618>So far. All I'll say is Shino is a good daughter.
>>291914272What's up with the big hat? Never seen this style of hat in Jap works before
>>291924648I think some old emperors used it
>>291925746Of what dynasty?
>>291924648It's a ichimegasa. It's meant to keep dirt, bugs and lustful looks away.
>>291926749Oh fascinating!
Guuuyyyss... Bump this shit up.
>>291928436Thank you anon, appreciate it!
Aizu castle ruins, 1874The castle was severely damaged during the 1868 Battle of Aizu and demolished by the Meiji Government in 1874, the very year the manga begins.
>>291929552Wow that's some fascinating history
If they die I hope they die together, like literally in each-other's arms.
