Customer Rating: Summary: Just another day with the Mibu Clan... Comment: Nothing much happens with our title character this volume, even though a bit more of his past with the Former Crimson King (or Aka-chan) is revealed. The best moment this release really was Bontenmaru's sacrifice and Akira, who normally fights so hard against his sympathy, realizing how much Bon means to him and his swearing to get the big lug back.
No glaring typos that I noticed this volume. Tokyopop is keeping with the translations that they've used the past few releases. Presentation is normal.
