Hell's Paradise follows an alliance between executioners and the people in their custody. VIZ places their shared effort to escape the island at the center of this installment. That makes it a continuation purchase for readers interested in the changing prisoner and guard relationship. Start with the earlier books if those loyalties are the attraction: the value of cooperation depends on knowing why it was unlikely. The standard paperback contains 208 pages.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The new threat in VIZ's synopsis comes from the shogun: another party of samurai and ninja, dispatched with orders to kill everyone. Its introduction matters because escape now conflicts with the authority behind the original mission as well as with Lord Tensen. Reinforcements are a dangerous word for people the reinforcements have been sent to eliminate. Buy this installment for that pressure on the alliance, rather than for the expectation that an official arrival will simplify the conflict. The executioners and convicts have found a common practical purpose; the new party gives the shogun's orders a different practical meaning.
