Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-04 00:00:00 Dominic Roman Conclusion of the Tokyo crime story arc. Similar to the "The Godfather" movie two things take place here. Rock becomes aware that is now swimming with the sharks and that rules of the under-world are very very different from the normal [lets call it for a lack of better world] "civilian" world. He understands he stands on the very thin line (or as author says in "twilight zone") because he always tries to save innocent lives if at all possible. And this brings us to Yukio - although Rock tries to save her the very nature of her life and responsibilities force her to make some rather difficult choices. Similar to Pacino's character Yukio is unwillingly brought into criminal world and finally ends up in tragedy because once in there is never way out. Excellent story, Revy shows that she has feelings for Rock and on multiple occasions tells him to leave their crime business - because she does not want him to lose his innocence and righteous attitude. She acts as his protector and is more than willing to defend him against anyone foolish enough to try to hurt him. Highly recommended to all fans of manga crime/action.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-13 00:00:00 Jean Lapointe Tokyo arc was very good, it finally gave Rock some substance. Yukio was interesting character, I wish the arc had spent even more time with her, let her act as the head of her clan for a while.
