Under the curse of Orochi, the great demon serpent reborn every 300 years, Japan has been shrouded in clouds for as long as anyone can remember...
The era of the samurai is at an end, and carrying swords has been outlawed. To combat the rising crime rates, an inescapable prison was built in the middle of Lake Biwa. When brothers Tenka, Soramaru and Chutaro Kumo are hired to capture and transport offenders to their final lodgings in this prison, they unexpectedly find themselves faced with a greater destiny than any of them could have imagined.

Mar 10, 2022The first half of this story focusing on the Kumo brothers was pretty intriguing, but it was way too short. The second half with its necessary historical context was very well done and almost better than the first half. It had wonderful pacing and some more complex characters. We don't fully discover why Hirari doesn't want to fight Orochi, but it makes him lots more interesting than brothers trying to make their elder brother proud. It might have been better to put "Fleeting Laughter" as a zero volume and put more chapters on the Kumo brothers in volume one. Hopefully, volume two will establish more intrigue with the brothers. It's clear KaraKaraKemuri knows how to tell a story and develop characters in a short amount of time, so I'm optimistic that the storyline with the Kumo brothers will get more interesting.
