I don't feel like the story evolved in a good way. It's bland blood lust...
This series had promise at best. I had read a good portion of it, when it was originally being published but stopped as I had to wait for each chapter release and I was impatient. So it was shelved in the back of my mind and now that it was completed, I have read the entire series. I can safely say that it has disappointed me. Seriously. I am not shocked about the ending.. It was the whole plot line of the series!! Duh!! I kinda lost interest halfway. So many characters were introduced and I felt like they served very little person in the end. As for the last two arcs, useless. It didn't make sense. But having a blind samurai turned vigilante was a cool concept. It's just there is just so much after 26 volumes were you can go "OMG!! He is so strong!! He can cut through almost anything!! He is unstoppable!! He is the ultimate weapon!! So much blood lust!!" It reminded me of Kenny from South Park that just kept dying in each episode for 6 years running. It has to stop somewhere...
Do I recommend it:

Haruka Tōyama, a young girl, is kidnapped by agents of a company named EX-SOLID due to her precognition abilities. She quickly finds sanctuary with a man named Hijikata Mamoru, a blind swordsman, ex-kendoka, and convict who is proficient in the use of a katana, and desperately runs him down in the street. Upon meeting, Haruka told Hijikata to protect her "Until Death Do Us Part." Confirming the terms of the contract, Mamoru quickly dispatches the pursuers on her tail and took her in for protection.
Soon it becomes apparent, however, that nearly the entire underground is targeting Haruka. It is then up to Mamoru, and his partner Igawa, to provide consistent and unending protection for Haruka. Needing a bit more help, contact is made with their parent company, a secret and elite vigilante paramilitary group called the Element Network. Many different members of the Network get involved in protecting Haruka and placing her under EN protection from unknown forces who seek her ability. In turn, Haruka assists EN forces in defeating mercenaries and assassins who are out to get her and the network.
