I really like the art in this one. Very beautiful. And the double pages are always awesome.
Great cliffhanger in this chapter. Did Brad kill all four of them? There were four shots fired in the last page...
And the plot thickens, finally. I'm really starting to like this manga. It has good potential.

If so, I must say I disagree. It's highly unlikely that any story would have such a change in characters. The first tankobon was all about Brad, and the second tankobon pictures him with what appears to a rival in the cover. He wouldn't die in the first chapter of the second volume.
Oh, and looking the table of contents for this volume, it looks that Brad isn't going anywhere until at least chapter 16.

But I'm curious, I want to know how things turn out! He may be a badass but I don't think Brad would take the chance of Luke being targeted by the gang, I also don't think the boss wants to risk injuring Brad for future work. At least, it doesn't seem like the smart thing to do when a war can break out at any moment. But, if I read this right, it seems like Kip just learned that Luke was Brad's brother, that's a disaster waiting to happen

Also have to agree about the art. I usually avoid anything with the 'historical' tag but from time to time I'll glance at a summary and decide to peek at a random chapter. Peeked at the first two pages of ch.7 and was like "Sold!". The art grabbed me and the story has me hooked, loving it so far.

It was a very effective cliffhanger, indeed. Shots were fired. Did Brad shoot? I think so. What about the other guys? Who the hell was shot?
And I agree that Kip just learned about Luke. If Kip survives, then surely Brad will have to turn his back against the gang...

Guy's got Smug Snake written all over him (without a snake where it counts). Doubt he's a Big Bad. However, his dad might be if the little oik gets himself killed trying to get back in the way it seems obvious he'll try.What a shame that psycho Kip survived......I suppose he makes a good bad guy for the future plot to develop around though.

Scanlation-author collaboration not possible? Nope: it's doable... try Trace and vote with your feet to try to get more like this.

Haha, good point, he does seem to be over-compensating for his short comings doesn't he? He really is the worst type though, he's got sneaky sleazeball who'll fall back on daddy when things go wrong written all over him.Guy's got Smug Snake written all over him (without a snake where it counts).

Hmmmmm... <cocks head to one side> Dunno. I believe our Smug Snake of a Kip will screw things up royally at the last second. Seems to be what he does best.The pool of blood has happened, now the brother is to join. This is the best of the best....
And, it'll go awfully pear-shaped on him.

The new chapter (26) is out on EGS, very good.........I just love that self serving logic people like the big man in town uses, he's not robbing, cheating and killing out of greed, he just wants to help the people he's robbing, cheating and killing. >_<

Chapter 27. Think this is the turning point for younger brother. He was against killing until now, and i doubt he can manage on his mission (revenge on his father) with that kind of atitude.
Damn, what a nice art.
EGS & Kotonoha, thx a lot.
I think Luke has already evolved a lot from how he was early in the story.................not a cold-blooded executioner like Brad, no, but no longer the idealistic, almost pacifistic person he was either. I think we saw that in the bar when they first got into town and he physically defended Jenny.
But yeah, I agree, this definitely won't improve his view of his "fellow man". >_<
not much for lengthy negotiations, was he?

i just hope that luke won't go totally crazy. innocent kids can go pretty bad if they're broken too suddenly. brad never was innocent, so he's still fairly balanced mentally, and so long as his brother isn't hurt, he'll probably still be.
