The Sword of Kaigen

When Mamoru died in the middle of the book, I was waiting for something epic to happen. Now that I've sit on it, I think the epic part of it was the shift in the Matsuda house. The change was already right in front of me that I didn't realize it was already happening. It was a good adventure, yes, but I feel like there could have been more. The story telling was great, yes, but if only Misaki was more defiant, I mean, a blade through Takeru's heart would have been nice from the start, but then again, we would not have witnessed this, and the tragedy of losing the Mamoru. Overall, I liked it. It's a 3.75 for sure.
