How can one write something this distant yet close to their supposed one and only magnum opus. Hanachirasu is an amazing love letter to swordsmanship and samurai fiction as a whole, while still being fresh and interesting. I only could wish that this was longer but for something written in a short time just to promote the 'big one' this is incredible.

And not only the writing is insane. The soundtrack is the best in the whole medium and the art is is arguably better than the Muramasa

I'm amazed yet still sad over on how someone this good at writing exists but won't pick their brush ever again.
