Story wise there is nothing new to be told here. It is story of revenge, where samurai try to clear their master's name after he is accused of capital crime and executed in a matter of hours by the Shogun. As a direct consequence of his crime his entire family is banished and his household is no more. Angered with the way their master is brought down his samurai decide to take action and bring the parties involved to justice.

For all means and purposes this is a story of a suicide attack executed by group of people that have no further reason to live (loss of position and rather rigid social rules that do not allow for survival of anyone who lose their face - in a manner of better to die than live [in shame]).

Story is as far as I know (having read few translations) the most popular telling, one were spotlight is on honor and justice.

Art is more comic-y than one might expect. It is classic Stan Sakai comic with only difference being that he is not working with anthropomorphic animals but human characters. For some this style might be in conflict with the seriousness of the story but I had no issues with it.
Shots and angles are great and you cannot get lost and wander what is going on. Colors are a little bit subdued but I think this was for a dramatic visual effect. All in all I liked the art pretty much.

So for a classic story this is a really good book. If you never heard the story then I wholeheartedly recommend this book. And if you have I recommend this one as a pretty good comic adaptation.

Another random library read that I wouldn't have encountered otherwise.

Mike Richardson's writing is decent and John Shawn Alexander's grim ink and watercolour style art is really nice and effective, but being a graphic novel can't do anything to hide the fact that this is just another trash 'trauma horror' movie in the vein of Jeeper's Creepers, albeit without the supernatural elements.

A prank call to the wrong person ends up in kidnap and abuse of the fridge girlfriend birthday girl of the protagonist who is a troubled kid doing his best and trying to save the day.

Generic plot with a generic villain and a cheap morally grey ending with the most obvious final twist.

Everything about this other than some of the dialogue and Alexander's art are pointless, male hero, fridged girlfriend tropes that have been done to death and weren't spellbinding begin with.

I'm being really harsh again, but I thought this might actually be something. Whereas, it is just tropes and the trauma of women for tension. Fuck that noise.

Several chapters in, I figured out I was missing the point of this. It was apparently meant to kick-start a dozen different series for Dark Horse. But the quality of the individual stories was highly variable (from ugh to meh to hmm). And the framing story was impossible to crack.
