Reception
Tom Rosin from mangalife.com considers this "another cold-blooded revenge drama from the author of Lone Wolf". The reviewer enjoyed the mix of Western modernisation with Japanese traditionalism. W.E Wallo from blogcritics.org finds the English translation weak compared to translation of Lone Wolf and Cub, however he recommends it to any fans of the Lone Wolf series. Similarly to Tom Rosin, he praises the "East/West dichotomy" theme that is prevalent in the novels.
