Recensioner i media

"Gotta figure out a way to get this on the Big Screen!!! My Man Takashi Okazaki did his thang with this one!" Samuel L JacksonA throwback to the kind of manga I used to love. Recommended." Otaku USA Magazine "Both familiar but refreshingly unique...its visual style and genuine flair will keep you hooked." Monkeys Fighting Robots "Super stylish and ultra-violent, this isn't for the faint hearted, but for the OG gangstas out there, it's the real deal." Mainly Manga"Violent and episodic sword fights and mayhem." Publishers Weekly"You get to marvel at the awesome artwork. A great translation." - Astonishing Melanie, Near Mint Condition"Takashi crafted a very fractured character in Afro..." Comic Attack"For fans of the genre, the raw, largely unpandering violence is impressive." Ain't It Cool"I absolutely fell in love with everything about this!" Maddogg Comics"The artwork enhances the narrative with its grimdark feel. Okazaki needs only black, white, and the crimson of blood to portray the violence and action in his artwork. Reading this graphic novel is choosing to follow the path of chaos." Manhattan Book Review 4/5 stars
