Synopsis: Taro Sakamoto was once a legendary hit man considered the greatest of all time. Bad guys feared him! Assassins revered him! But then one day he quit, got married, and had a baby. He’s now living the quiet life as the owner of a neighborhood store, but how long can Sakamoto enjoy his days of retirement before his past catches up to him?!
The race to rescue Lu takes Sakamoto and Shin deep into an underground lab. However, they’re not the only ones there on a mission—the legendary members of the ORDER are there as well to investigate the mysterious X!
This volume wraps up the story from the last one, where Sakamoto and Shin go rescue Lu after she was mistakenly thought to be Shin.. Somehow? Lol. That entire story and the fight sequences in that lab were so good! I really enjoyed it! There was this one guy with the stitches and the weapons... absolutely horrific! 😰 I loved it!
I also really enjoyed Shin and the new guy, Heisuke, working together to take down the invisible guy. It was very cool! know I mentioned it in the last volume, but I love the way Sakamoto collects all these people who initially try to kill him (Heisuke being the latest one lol), who then become his friends/employees. Lol. I'm a sucker for the found family trope.
But anyway, back to the lab... I loved the wholesome interactions between Shin and the workers of this lab where he grew up. I especially loved his interactions with the scientist who was basically his father figure. When we were learning about Shin's past and how he got his mind-reading ability, I was really worried it was going to be this devastating past filled with torture. I'm glad that that wasn't the case and that the scientist turned out to be a pretty decent guy.
Overall, I really enjoyed this mission in the lab. The volume ends in a little bit of a cliffhanger in regards to Lu, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how that situation pans out.
