Mixed Feelings

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this sequel to Lady Snowblood:

On the one hand, the protagonist feels much more human and relatable here, having left behind her life as an impassive assassin and now getting involved with the problems of others. Moreover, this work doesn't have episodic / independent chapters, and because all of them contribute to a single overarching plot, the story moves way faster and feels more dynamic than its predecessor.
