The story is kinda slow in the beginning,but it's still a pretty chill read.At some point in the first 10 or so chapters I thought of dropping it ,due to its ''slowness'',but I remembered a thing I heard about it ''Give it a little time and you will be rewarded'' and that's what happened.The story was constantly improving and at the end it became indeed one of a kind.Honestly one of the best conclusions I've seen.
The art is unique and beautiful, landscapes were probably my favourite thing in it visually.It's important to mention that the art made the atmosphere mesmerizing.Most fights were kidna messy in my point of view,but I never considered them the main point of the series anyways.
The cast was small,but it was more than enough.All of them had their purpose in the story and played it perfectly .Abe is kinda questionable,but he offered a lot of feelings and tension.Itto is probably the most badass character I've seen, he is a man among men.Daigoro is adorable and his solo chapter stories were really enjoyable.As for Retsudo,at first I can't say I was a fan,but as the series progresses he becomes an excellent character and probably my favourite in it.
Overall,Kozure Ookami is a classic among classics.Excellent storytelling,with great characters and art.I would recommend it to everyone ,except maybe for those not into the samurai theme,because the story depicts Edo period Japan in a most accurate way
