That was some intense sword fight depicted in manga.
I really liked how it was just their skills 'speaking' and not a shounen character narrating everything and also inserting their own insecurities in every swing of the blade.
Just both swordsmen trying to foretell where wounds will land and how to deal the fatal strike without receiving one.
And that promo art of the upcoming anime adaptation just makes me hope it will not be a disappointing one.
This is how you do a fucking fight scene. Expertly choreographed, easy to follow movements, raw skill being displayed with no flashy flair going on to distract from it. God I hope the anime gives it justice instead of slow-mo shots of everything
What a f*cking chapter, my favorite moment was when the sword smith shook his hand and saw a abstract form, but now it's this fight, beautiful and mesmerizing...
But man, they did MC dirty with that visual for the anime...
