Finally caught back up with this.

I’m not sold on the art style. I like the chunky lines - they give it a sort of heft that seems appropriate - but there are other little eccentricities too that don’t work as well and seem to be there not so much because they’re appropriate to the series as just because they’re unusual. It has a sort of “art is weird so if we make it weird it’ll be art” feel to it.

And that all stands in sharp contrast to the deadly earnest and casually violent storyline.

It does seem to be setting up for a very satisfying resolution though. The villains are villains and there’s no pretense that they’re anything else, and while things look odd and out of control on the surface, it’s safe to assume that it’s all playing out more or less according to a strategy Misumi has already worked out, and we can look forward to some well-deserved karmic retribution before this is over.
