The conclusion to Eldo Yoshimizu's stunning manga story. The final book which explores the shocking life of Ryuko, a tough woman of the Yakuza.

Story also feels a little bit rushed at the end. Revelations about Ryuko's mother and what it takes to become the heir to this hidden criminal empire are very much in vein of Crying Freeman (crime-opera mangas all have the very similar flavor) but the ending looks like author had plans for volume 3 but decided against it. It all ends rather abrupt and without explanation - ending reads like a collection of slides - bing, bang, badadboom, the end.
So all in all very interesting graphic novel but could use some more development story-wise to be thoroughly enjoyable.
Recommended to all fans of crime inspired manga but due to the art approach first check if you like it (it is visual media after all and this art style might not be for everyone). ( )
