I really enjoyed this manga, due to it being different from most of the assassin manga out there that i have come across so far. The story line so far has really picked up and is able to hold my interest because its not revealing too much too soon. Or on the other hand its not ridiculously slow moving. The art is really good, i haven't ran across a panel i had to stare at confused (thinking what in the world is that?). The Tsubame character is great due to his diversity. His main(body) is not the annoying kid type who eats a lot that you see so often but is rather level headed. Overall i give it a 9. I enjoy assassin manga and hope that this one doesn't end.
