An otherwise typical samurai story, embellished by the subtle storytelling and eccentric art. Even being used to Matsumoto's art, this was a completely different experience. The happy end was a pleasant surprise considering the conclusions of similar work. Good stuff.

While the core story is fairly simple everything works so well, providing an amazing reading experience. Hopefully this manga gets more exposure as it truly is great.

Oh my what a fantastic manga. It was an experience for sure and it will earn a spot in my faves.
I loved how there were panels and panels without dialogue, a very show but don't tell approach.

The art was actually amazing as well.
Not that I was put off by it but I do recall thinking 'this will take getting used to...' and yet here at the end i'm left thinking that no other artstyle would have worked as well as this.

I would've been interested in more of a flashback to kikuchi's life. I wonder why he starved himself? Possibly some kind of contrast to his love of rain and water.

quite the lackluster ending for an otherwise consistently great manga. him surviving kinda nullifies his last moments with each key character...

still one of the best things i've read in a long while though

i loved how kikuchi starved himself to go back to his younger days when he was famished and waiting for rain turning the ground into black mud

Meshi is awesome lol, love its antics. Lovely read overall, Matsumoto's panel composition and art are breathtaking (I especially loved the panel with Sou leaving Katsu and closing the door). The whole art felt like Picasso but in manga form, as far as faces go at least.
