A fantastic conclusion to a great 4 issue series! Wow it sounds like this book really amped up the action and suspense in the final chapter. I love the "Live by the Yakuza, Die by the Yakuza" phrase and the shocking ending. Now I know I really need to track this series down, it has now jumped to the top of my search list for Cons.
ReplyDeleteI also totally agree with your sentiments about the need for a strong conclusion for enjoyable story. Ideally I want a strong journey & destination, but a strong conclusion can do wonders for saving a story that meanders during the journey part of the story. But a weak conclusion ruins the story for me.
Strong Chapters 1, 3, and 4 more than make up for a slower chapter 2, giving this series a very big win!

This was my first time reading this series, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you find it, and of course I hope you find it at a good price!
DeleteThanks for the thoughts on endings, as well.
