SERIES UPDATE
Volume 5 ends the series, and this is still a series of individual adventures with some recurring characters and a lot of recurring themes. I hadn't realized that yakuza, moneylenders and vengeance-driven youngsters were so thick on the ground in 19th-century Japan. Jintetsu doesn't seem to have made a dent in their numbers, despite his efforts.
I would average the series out at two and a half stars -- some interesting elements, more predictable elements, and characters who are not very unusual for this genre.
