After the big twist of Samura turning heel on the bachibros, we had a bonus chapter side story of Sojo at the sauna which was better than it sounds. That said we now get the anticipated follow up and boy does this chapter deliver on that Samura twist. Samura has pretty much wrecked everyone and seemingly killed Uruha. Chihiro isn't too pleased with this betrayal and gets sliced and diced by Samura for his troubles, an assault which we learn 'kills' Chihiro. So I guess the protagonist is dead now. It's doubtful but I am curious how Chihiro will make it through this.  After attacking Chihiro, Shiba rocks up in the nick of time which seemingly scares Samura off who flees the scene and meets with the Hishaku. Samura basically reveals that he has decided to work with the Hishaku to kill all the sword bearers but after ...

Chapter 13 - The Silver Snow Witch: This week was not the most substantial chapter but there was some interesting layers added to Togeice's character as we got to see a bit more of her backstory. We see that she is the favourite of one of the head witches and had a tumultuous relationship with Descaras in their younger days. Togeice is the polar opposite to Descaras. She is very serious and studious and has little patience to suffer fools. It becomes clear what the head witches plans are and they seem insistent to mold Ichi in the style of Togeice and aiming to get him into their schooling system. I hope that the series doesn't go the school route because that would not be the direction I would like to see this story go. Outside of the look at Togeice and Descaras in the younger days, we see that Ichi is hot on the trailer of the Mushroom Majik and that's pretty much where the chapter concludes for now....

Ichi and company rock up to a village that is being overrun by giant mushrooms. The sight of the giant shrooms towering over the tiny village was a cool visual. Ichi is surprised to learn of the deal struck by the witch bosses in the previous chapter that if he fails to capture the Kindake Majik then he must go to witch school but if he succeeds his identity as the only male witch will be revealed. I am personally hoping for the latter because this series is doing good with its current direction as a somewhat monster taming fantasy adventure series and I would not like to see it become a school based series. The other noteworthy thing in this chapter was that a mystery person crosses paths with Ichi. It looks like we may be getting a look at a potentially significant character here. Could h...
