I was flipping through volume 9, and I realized Soichiro's mom is missing her left arm. There is a page, in volume 10, I believe, where a guy that looks a lot like Soichiro ( probably his father ? ) has a sword like weapon over his shoulder, and an arm flying away bloodily. I wonder if his father chopped off his mothers arm, and if so, I wonder why he would do such a thing. Has anyone else missed this before now, maybe I need to scrutinize the pages better. Still, she seems to kick some serious ass, for a one armed single mother. I thought it was great she met the same taxi driver Bunshichi Tawara met. Sorry if the names aren't quite correct. So anyone else enjoying this manga ? Volume 11 should be arriving soon, I hope.

I just read Vol. 11 yesterday and I was wondering the same thing. I never noticed that Mother was missing her arm (I'll have to go back to vol. 9 to see what you saw.

But, in Vol. 11, Mother spoiler[stopped Sochiro from being competly overtaken by the dragon and her arm seemed to disappear, so I though Sochiro did it. Later, in the hospital, the Father comes and she does talk about him cutting it off.] Hopefully the relationship between Mother and Father will be explained in the vol. 12. I'd talk more about Vol. 11 but there was an interesting twist and I don't want to ruin it for you!

And I feel really sorry for that poor taxi driver...every couple of years a blood covered person seems to throw a semi-dead body in front of his cab!

And yes, I'm enjoying the heck out of it! Now excuse me, I'm going back and re-read 9, 10, & 11.

EDIT: Went back and skimmed through 9, 10, & 11 for scenes with Mother. Let's put it this way, spoiler[OUCH!]
