Black Torch, Vol. 4

My husband loves anime and manga so I decided to get him these series for our anniversary. Only problem was that we didn't like how it was packaged. They are books they should be packaged with care. Some of the corners were ruined of the books. Other than that he loved that I got him the whole series.

For a new product, it arrived scuffed on the spine. Still enjoy it tho.

Great manga

Nice, clean and new amazing and worth it!

~4 StarsAs the other Mononoke are clearly after Rago and want to separate Rago from Jiro, they have to decide how to attack back. Rago wants Jiro to be okay, and Jiro wants to fight everyone. Rago throws in a surprise here, though, that not even the mononoke had considered.With this new power, the bureau is having a hard time keeping hold of Jiro, and Jiro needs to train to figure out how to handle it all.Jiro meets a new mononoke in the second half of this volume. It's a mononoke woman, who has made an agreement to live peacefully and unbothered in this forest, along with her husband who used to be human. I really liked getting to see their dynamic and history, how they came to be in this position. It's a really sweet story, and I was pleasantly surprised to meet these characters. I kind of want more of them.The next volume is the last, which seems to mean that there isn't a romance in the forefront, and I appreciate that. Jiro only formed some light friendships with all of the characters, including the women, and I like that. The plot line was more important to him, at least.Now, saying that, I kind of ship Ichika and Roren? It's so odd to me, and yet I'm kind of into it.(A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!)

The first half of the volume is literally the last half of volume 3! What the heck is that? Literally a waste of pages! I mean I heard that it was canceled but seriously? What’s the point of making volumes if you’re repeating the same material? At first I thought it was just a recap but NO it was the whole other half meaning the first of it was new material. That really sucks... I love the story & the art designs but thatnreally freaking sucks and makes it kind of a waste...

I've been thoroughly enjoying the Black Torch manga series since book #1, and the story & art of are really great. The story continues in explosive fashion as the intrigue surrounding Jiro and Rago develops further. The other characters seem to take a back seat in this one (for the most part). The mystery of Rago's old nemesis Amagi deepens further, while the future of the team seems to be questionable (as far as we know it). Jiro must be able to control his newfound power, or he risks severe consequences from the Bureau of Espionage... or worse!This was an excellent book, and it had me in suspense from page to page. I've only recently started delving in manga seriously, and I'm so happy that I began reading this series. It's been interesting to read, and it's a unique blend of humor and drama I haven't read before. I'm a big fan now, and I plan to collect all of the books as they're released.Two thumbs up!

The cover of the manga had dents on it. Edges were bent and damaged. Overall the manga was in a bad condition. The story of the manga is amazing as usual

I bought this volume along with the other 4 and it came before estimated delivery date in a well packaged condition. Kudos!

Lmao I got the wrong volume. I wanted 4 but got 3 instead. Btw, I've already read this volume online lol.
