Orient Volume 2 Review

As our heroes Musashi and Kojiro prepare to step out on their quest to rid The Land of the Setting Sun of the demons that have ruled the country for the last 150 years, this volume finds itself being burdened by all the exposition required to move the story forward. However, it still offers plenty of interesting character development as it introduces a stylish new addition to the cast.
