The Kanemaki Band is dragged into the operation to reclaim Awaji Island. If that wasn't bad enough, Musashi gets thrown alone into a ragtag squad of other young warriors. The squad needs a leader, and it doesn't take long for things to get heated in the blood- thirsty group. The clash for power is just a warm-up to the actual war, but this might just be Musashi's moment to finally debut in the world of the samurai!
Overall, Volume 7 of Orient successfully ramps up the action and presents us with a fun series of fights but misses the mark in what it was going for with the direction of the story, confusingly rolling back Musashis character development and running opposite to the message it was trying to convey. Its still doing just enough to keep me going with it in terms of the art and action, but its definitely not as compelling a read as it has been in some earlier volumes. Read Full Review
