I like the MC's design. She looks like if Kei Yonagi ever had to act as a samurai.

Ah, yes, the historical magical trains and sorcery. Weird tagging there. That's just plain fantasy.

This train has crazy high ceilings if there enough room to backflip over someone else's head

A hitokiri is an assassin
—T/N on pg. 2
I feel like this doesn't convey the whole meaning of this word.
The word hitokiri (人斬り) is often translated as "assassin", but literally it means "manslayer" or "man cutter" (the kanji 人 means person, and 斬 can alternatively mean slay or cut), which feels more gritty and bloody.
I feel like hitokiri is used to describe more brutal cases than other Japanese words for assassins (like 暗殺者, 刺客, or 殺し屋).

I'm not confident in any of this though, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

An action yuri with beautiful art style, count me in! It is sooo rare to have this genre in yuri that I want to cry, always drama, bully or love triangle 🥲

I think the closest translation in english would be "mass killer", hitokiri is implying more of when someone killing others is considered normal activity rather than assassin's more targeted job. Hitokiri Battosai killed about 500 people in 4 years. That kind of "normal".
