But what a beautiful and tragic story Ittetsu managed to make here. Until the middle of the work, there were other elements that fascinated me, instead of the story itself, but the work will show its full face in the last chapters and I loved it. I really like the way Ittetsu alludes to various Japanese historical events that end up being portrayed here, in addition to his vast knowledge of fencing that ends up appearing at every moment of the battle. It really is a story that dedicates his love for the sword and a time in Japan.
