Assassins have been cast as the sensual and shadowy villains throughout history, but their exploits have never been so fully realized as they are within the pages of Path of the Assassin. From the most intense sword fight, to a silent poisoning, no job has been too much for the infamous Hattori Hanzo. Now, the stage is set for Tokugawa Ieyasu's destiny to be fulfilled, and with Hanzo watching his back, can anything stop him from uniting Japan?

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Having earned the titular sobriquet, Hattori Hanzo must deal with three beautiful sorceresses dispatched by his target’s son to kill him and his master, Ieyasu, eventual founder of the long Tokugawa shogunate. That challenge met, the historical saga’s finale begins with Hanzo uniting his three wives (and fellow ninjas) under his loving leadership and preparing for the threat represented by the fact that the father of Ieyasu’s heir apparent really isn’t Ieyasu. Sex and political intrigue are bonded so closely that the oddness of presenting so much verbal plot exposition during lovemaking barely registers. Koike and Kojima’s enormous manga maintains its head of steam and its heady steaminess. --Ray Olson

Good but complicated,

This review is from: Path Of The Assassin, Vol. 14 (v. 14) (Paperback)
Like the other two series "Lone Wolf and Cub" and "Samurai Executioner", "Path of the Assasin" is a very pleasant book for one to read. But unlike the other two series, there is a focus on the geopolitical events of that era in japan and much less battles. Also it is almost impossible to remember all the different names and charactes that take part on the plot.

This review is from: Path Of The Assassin, Vol. 14 (v. 14) (Paperback)
The story of Hattori Hanzo and the Tokugawa saga continues to unfold with some uneventful army battles and duels with some supposedly talented ninja which are either taken out or dealt too easily in a rather uninspired manner. After the precedent set for ninja encounters in previous issues, I found this issue lacking in excitement and originality on that regard. It is not a bad installment, but I would have hoped the series to be better and more interesting by this point with the inclusion of historical worthy rivals like the Koga ninja or such. If you stuck with this series so far, you are naturally going to want to follow the story. For new readers, this would not be a good point to jump in.
