Rooster Fighter Volume 1-8 Manga Review

Jan 1, 12:00

Search and Destroy Volume 1-3 Manga Review

Dec 30, 12:00 manga

Kaneko’s art is so sharp it looks like it was drawn with a scalpel. ― “Why are you so… angry?!” So every opponent asks of the vengeful Hyaku immediately before their violent dismemberment at her rage-filled hands. Hyaku, it turns out, has a lot to be angry about. Like her namesake Hyakkimaru, protagonist of Osamu Tezuka's classic Dororo, Hyaku's infant body parts were sacrificed and replaced with pro...
