Summary
Under the curse of Orochi， the great demon serpent reborn every 300 years， Japan has been shrouded in clouds for as long as anyone can remember。。。
The era of the samurai is at an end， and carrying swords has been outlawed。 To combat the rising crime rates， an inescapable prison was built in the middle of Lake Biwa。 When brothers Tenka， Soramaru and Chutaro Kumo are hired to capture and transport offenders to their final lodgings in this prison， they unexpectedly find themselves faced with a greater destiny than any of them could have imagined。

Honestly。。。 I'm confused。 There are seemingly multiple stories in this manga and they don't seem to relate to each other。 The stories are compelling， sure， but right when you start getting into them， they switch to a completely different cast and setting。 Honestly。。。 I'm confused。 There are seemingly multiple stories in this manga and they don't seem to relate to each other。 The stories are compelling， sure， but right when you start getting into them， they switch to a completely different cast and setting。 。。。more

Love the art and shading。 The character designs are very appealing too。 The main story is fairly short in this volume but it leaves a good impression with action scenes aplenty and endearing characters。 The second story was a little fast-paced but was a good addition to the setting of the main arc。 I think I'm going to enjoy this series！ Love the art and shading。 The character designs are very appealing too。 The main story is fairly short in this volume but it leaves a good impression with action scenes aplenty and endearing characters。 The second story was a little fast-paced but was a good addition to the setting of the main arc。 I think I'm going to enjoy this series！ 。。。more

The premise of the story is interesting。 Three brothers as “bounty hunters” for a huge prison。 The art was a little hard to follow。 There were times I could not distinguish between the brothers。 I think it will be easier to follow the action in future volumes。 I do not understand why the volume ends with a different story。 Since Fleeting Laughter takes place in the past， should it not have been the first story in the volume with a tie to the laughing clouds story？ I hope the next volume is more The premise of the story is interesting。 Three brothers as “bounty hunters” for a huge prison。 The art was a little hard to follow。 There were times I could not distinguish between the brothers。 I think it will be easier to follow the action in future volumes。 I do not understand why the volume ends with a different story。 Since Fleeting Laughter takes place in the past， should it not have been the first story in the volume with a tie to the laughing clouds story？ I hope the next volume is more focused。 。。。more

OK， so， spoiler but not a spoiler --- only about the first third of this book is actually -this- book。 The story you're promised on the back， about the three brothers and the mega prison and everything？ Yeah， about a third。 And I really enjoyed that part。Then the final two thirds was a wholly different story。 Sure， they're related to some extent。 But practically， they don't really have much to do with one another。 So I have to admit， I kind of felt cheated。 Maybe if this happened later in the se OK， so， spoiler but not a spoiler --- only about the first third of this book is actually -this- book。 The story you're promised on the back， about the three brothers and the mega prison and everything？ Yeah， about a third。 And I really enjoyed that part。Then the final two thirds was a wholly different story。 Sure， they're related to some extent。 But practically， they don't really have much to do with one another。 So I have to admit， I kind of felt cheated。 Maybe if this happened later in the series I would have been more accepting。 And it's not like thew side story was bad per se。 But paying full manga trade prices for 80 pages of what the book was advertised to be about， which。。。。。 eh。That said， while the first bit has plenty of action， it's much more about character -- about who our main character is， about who his brothers are through his eyes， what the time period is， etc。 It's a solid start and hopefully the next volume will be more about the actual story。 As for the second story， it's a cute， bittersweet romance fantasy。 It seemed fine for what it was。 :） 。。。more

A beautifully rendered historical manga that takes place in the early Meiji era， a time of change and unrest in Japan。 The main story follows the three Kumo brothers， who ferry inmates to an inescapable prison located in the center of Lake Biwa。 The curse of Orochi， a serpent demon reborn every 300 years， is another plot thread that affects the Kumo family， in the past and the present。 There are other plot lines woven in， a large cast of characters， and a lot of history to explore， including the A beautifully rendered historical manga that takes place in the early Meiji era， a time of change and unrest in Japan。 The main story follows the three Kumo brothers， who ferry inmates to an inescapable prison located in the center of Lake Biwa。 The curse of Orochi， a serpent demon reborn every 300 years， is another plot thread that affects the Kumo family， in the past and the present。 There are other plot lines woven in， a large cast of characters， and a lot of history to explore， including the brothers' tragic past。 I highly recommend this to manga readers who enjoy historical fantasy。 Thanks to TOKYOPOP and NetGalley for an advance Digital copy to read and review。 。。。more

LOVE the anime and the 3 OVA films。 I’ve been DYING for the manga in the states。I’m not a fan of the KUMO edit on Tenka’s back。 It looks so out of place— there could have been a better workaround for sure。The timeline jumps were jarring and made it a bit hard to care about past events。 I think if I hadn’t watched the anime that I’d really be lost。

Perhaps I had high hopes for this volume because I LOVE period pieces， especially ones set in Japan， but this story felt a bit flawed and eventually lost my interest。 The pacing and formatting of the story was not easy to follow。 The dynamic between the 3 brothers were this manga's redeeming point however those short and small moments felt too sparse。 Overall， this was not a bad manga by any means！ It just did not hold my attention long Perhaps I had high hopes for this volume because I LOVE period pieces， especially ones set in Japan， but this story felt a bit flawed and eventually lost my interest。 The pacing and formatting of the story was not easy to follow。 The dynamic between the 3 brothers were this manga's redeeming point however those short and small moments felt too sparse。 Overall， this was not a bad manga by any means！ It just did not hold my attention long 。。。more

I don’t quite have this manga figured out。 I think I need book two to understand more of what is happening。 Three brothers and a housemate （who appears to be 600 years old） ferry prisoners to the prison， or catch the ones that escape。 Part of why I find it confusing is because of my limited history knowledge of the samurai。 At times they seem evil and others times a hero。 I only know what I have learned from movies and let's just say western culture does a bad job teaching eastern culture。 I pre I don’t quite have this manga figured out。 I think I need book two to understand more of what is happening。 Three brothers and a housemate （who appears to be 600 years old） ferry prisoners to the prison， or catch the ones that escape。 Part of why I find it confusing is because of my limited history knowledge of the samurai。 At times they seem evil and others times a hero。 I only know what I have learned from movies and let's just say western culture does a bad job teaching eastern culture。 I prefer the main story to the second story in the book that takes place 100 years earlier。 And while I found this book interesting。 I don’t think I found it interesting enough to pick up the sequel。 。。。more
