my copy of senso issue#3 finally arrived at my doorstep yesterday and of course I read through it right away (before reading groo vs conan #3 and 4;)...)..I was sad to see the fate of my favourite character!!he died the good death for sure as well as another very admired character of mine did in this issue but still to see them meet their day was sad;(...
cant figure out where this is all leading to I must say...

Issue #4 arrived my end today. Well, that was interesting, for more than one reason. Always suspected Hebi was loyal as a retainer in the same way Usagi was to Mifune. Perhaps he doesn't come off so badly after all...

It did feel somewhat strange reading the latest issue today. Nonetheless, the final page was a genuine "laugh out loud" moment, and looking forward to the final issue.

Hadn't had the chance to go to my LCS lately; the good thing about it is: had Senso 2- 5 to pick up and read, so my weekend was more than saved; a great up and down with this storyline. And a terrific cliffhanger, too...

Can't wait to see part 6!

@Mayhem: "The samurai loyal to his evil lord is true to bushido", but when Hebi found out just how evil his lord was, he acted accordingly. Admirable, I'd say.

This is so embarrassing, but somehow I missed issue #5 when it came out a couple weeks ago.

I picked it up yesterday and I will post a review.

I am so ashamed. My nerd card should be revoked for such a terrible lapse. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh yeah...#5 was awesome!! 8)

You're forgiven. :wink:

While I did "look through" #5, I'm still holding off on reading Senso until #6 comes out. I want to take it all in at once.

What a great series. I've been enjoying Senso.
Unfortunately I ordered 1-4 from an online site suggested by DH and my bank account was wiped out that night. I know, part my fault for using a bank card and not a credit card. The good new is the fraud dept sent all my money back after two weeks. The better news, I got to read Senso 1-4 in one sitting.

The last page cliffhanger of #5 was shocking, I'd never expected such a development and I've never laughed so hard over one amazing image. Can't wait to see how this all ends.

Spoilers!







Awesome end to Senso! I think this was the best way you could end it even if it is sad. A fitting way for Usagi to die. Also interesting how it was a bedtime story! And the cover is awesome! Awesome Awesome Awesome!

I figured people would either love it or hate it. So far, the reviews have been overwhelmingly in favor of the series and this last chapter.
