The evil Count uses his dark powers to transform a defeated guard captain into an inhuman horror to combat Guts, the Black Swordsman. Puck, Guts’ pint-sized fairy sidekick, is captured when he attempts to stop an old doctor’s execution, and he is given as a gift to the count’s daughter, a sweet girl in a gilded cage, imprisoned by her father in her own room. Guts, determined to make mincemeat of the Count, assaults the castle and carves a swath of blood-soaked destruction through the Count’s minions. Face-to-face with the Black Swordsman at last, the Count reveals his true form, and even Guts’ super-sized sword may not be big enough more

    Better, than the previous volume, but still not really interesting. But again, the artwork is great and it's pretty epic all in all. A very action-packed book, I just with there was more... I don't know... Suspense to it. I'm not really looking forward to read more.

    A stronger entry and a great continuation from the last volume. It's a grotesque world depicted in these pages. There is almost no light or joy save for the occasional levity Puck tries to bring. Unfortunately for him, he's the outlier in his surroundings and Guts doesn't let him forget it. It's still rough early Miura artwork but even from the first few chapters you can see how he has evolved. His sense of scale just grows further here and the monsters he permeates the pages with are horrendously, wonderfully illustrated.
