"Hitokiri" Shoujo Koushaku Reijou no Goei ni Naru - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

[Ryker]

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

 

[OrionKaelin]

Poor dude could have been reaching for a handkerchief! Or notepad! I didn't see no weapon!

 

[Omniracle]

HUH? That was one chapter????

 

[Kekryn]

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

 

[Lightbrand]

What kind of private train compartment was he sitting in

 

[Snailman32]

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

You're wrong? "人斬り" literally means assasination

 

[ngkn92]

Are u telling me For Honor lying to me? There is no way, you are wrong.
(It's a joke, dude.)

That's totally hiten mitsurugi ryu, what the hell.
Where is the cheap pantyshot?

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.

That poor target, got offed before her guard even arrived. Wonder if the plot will bring her up again.

 

[AlvinJun]

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 🥲

 

[yanderecoverl]

Beautiful art style I hope they get to know more of each other

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".
