narutolvr's manga / #martial arts(3)

I see comments saying this manga was confusing or hard to grasp but it's a pretty simple story to grab hold of. It seems complicated because of all the names/backstories of each character they introduce (20+ in only a few volumes = tons of information) but don't let your attention be swayed by that. Just understand that at the start of the story the two clans Kouga and Iga that warred for 1000 years and were forced to form a truce are now given free reign to fight again. Now these clans seemed to be getting on fine and two ninjas (one from each clan) were in love and were scheduled to be married a few days after the truce ended up being dissolved. So the whole story is following how the relationship between the two clans (and by proxy, the lovers) dissolves over the course of a couple of days simply because of the war-mongering nature of the ninja. It's pretty interesting to read and the action scenes -of which there are many- are well drawn.

Of course it's great! There were a few areas where the plot got...kinda heavy handed I guess (the arc with the creepy vampire doctor guy was a bit off putting somehow) but I thought it was a great follow up to the original series. This one certainly had me crying more, though. More than anything, the author's set it up to make for a really interesting 3rd season, though I don't know if I'll still be interested 40 volumes from whenever they start releasing it, and who knows when that'll be? But I really do want to see how the story ends!

Super awesome! We get to see a lot of good action, great emotional scenes, sensible character development, and well timed laugh breaks. All in all, this manhwa really hits the spot. I also think it was planned out really well- I can't think of a single wasted chapter. Best part is, the sequel is pretty good as well, so it's like 2 series in 1.
