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 situation is fraught during the casino battle between Sakamoto’s staff and the Chinese triad. Can they protect Lu and get info on the bounty?! To make matters worse, the very worst assassins from overseas are gunning for Sakamoto!
In the last volume, we saw the arrival of Wutang, who worked for the Triad and came to take Lu back. Thus ensued some fun shenanigans that would determine Lu's fate. Spoiler alert:
Aside from the resolution of that part of the story, we also learned more about where the bounty on Sakamoto's head came from, and we got even MORE bad guys after Sakamoto and his new friends.
As per usual, I really enjoyed this volume. We got a lot of story progression, and my favorite: there were a lot of really good fights throughout this volume.
