Have you ever just looked at a piece of art and just been blown away? That is what this series of books entitled "Basilisk" are. But yeah.I would refuse to fight Gennosuke. Can you see where this is heading? Oboro knows this herself and blinded herself temporarily. The only one who can has a chance is poor Oboro with her eyes of death. He has the ability to slow down time to a near halt and just destroy you as easily as taking a stroll in the park. Hell.the only way to beat him is freeze him so you can at least get a hit in. I'm sorry but he is the last man I would go up against. Things are heating up! Even dear old Gennosuke has even joined in the fight. Can you see where this is heading? Oboro knows this herself and blinded herself t I had to read a lot of fantasy like that while I was growing up (because there weren’t a ton of options with strong female characters in the fantasy genre) and it’s something I don’t ever need to read more of.more I really dislike fantasy series in which all the females are given demeaning roles. I am trying to decide if I will finish it or not, there are only two books left and they are quick reads.but I am beginning to really dislike these. Overall this series is just getting boring and bad. I am not a fan of overly characterized body illustration. To be fair a lot of the men are overly muscled as well (although we don’t see them naked nearly as much). The illustration is pretty good, but all the women have these ginormous breasts which are totally disproportionate to their bodies. So to shake things up Gennasuke is blinded in this volume, making it so both clans have lost their was so predictable. Oboru remains a weepy, passive, and weak female character that I intensely dislike. In volume 2 Oboru blinded herself with a potion so that she couldn’t participate in the Iga versus Kouga ninja battles. The authors are starting to reuse plot devices as well. Where are the women ninja with cool powers? In this volume we also get an attempted rape scene (between members of the same clan).not my favorite. We get to see another woman ninja’s powers and they are basically that she kills anyone she sleeps with, sigh. I continue to have issues with this series. The Kouga and Iga ninjas are all trying to kill each other out in order to determine who will be left standing and who will become the next Shogun. Pretty much the synopsis of the story hasn’t changed.
The series is decently written and illustrated, but the plot has been pretty repetitive and I am disappointed at the roles the women in this series have been given. This is the third book in the Basilisk series. We get to see another woman ninja’s powers The epic battle of blood and betrayal continues!. The hirsute Nenki and the butterfly-wielding Hotarubi rush to assassinate Gennosuke, while Tenzen has sinister intentions for a defenseless Oboro. Meanwhile, Gennosuke has urged the Iga clan to join him on a journey to Sunpu to find out the real motives behind Ieyasu Tokugawa’s orders to fight. Oboro has blinded herself in order to avoid having to kill Gennosuke, her lover and her rival. Meanwhile, Gennosuke has urged the Iga clan to join him on a journey to Sunpu to find out the re Thanks to the machinations of the Ieyasu Tokugawa, the age-old truce between the Kouga and the Iga clans is no more–and now a fight to the death will decide which clan reigns supreme.
