Musashi is a teenager living under demon rule. With the battle to reclaim Awaji Island quickly approaching, Musashi throws himself into his training with Amako to learn to link up his blade energy. Things start looking up when Michiru lends a hand, but suddenly she and Musashi are enveloped in a huge obsidian crystal. As events spiral out of control, the secret of Michiru's past comes to light!
As much as this series can be frustrating to read as it constantly missteps with its unconvincing lead, it can still bring enough punch to the table to lure you back in. Volumes 8 and 9 of Orient produce an action-packed combination that focuses on the battle between the Uesugi and the members of the Obsidian Eight who are backing up Orochi on Awaji Island with some horrific destruction and a fantastic back-and-forth tactical battle. Its just a shame those long-standing issues hold it back, while it misses the presence of some of the main characters who continue to pop in and out of existence on demand. Read Full Review
