The era of the samurai is at an end, and carrying swords has been outlawed. To combat the rising crime rates, an inescapable prison was built in the middle of Lake Biwa. When brothers Tenka, Soramaru and Chutaro Kumo are hired to capture and transport offenders to their final lodgings in this prison, they unexpectedly find themselves faced with a greater destiny than any of them could have imagined.

I'd have given this 5 stars if not for the same honorific issues as has been going through the entire localisation. It just takes me out of the flow.
But anyway, I loved this volume, it was so good. I really hope the other Warau series gets translations, but please, I want the honorifics done properly, not translated like they've been in Donten.
Karakarakemuri is so good at a wide range of expressions. The art is so lovely, a very nice blend of beautiful and hilarious. It's something I've loved since first getting my hands on one of their books (Susanoh) and they've only gotten better.
The Naoto and Chuutarou stuff gets me right in the heart every time. This is something I hope to one day get to see more of, in particular. And of course, all the Kumou generations being all goofy and ridiculous together, as well.
