The story starts to come together in book 2, seems like the series is getting stronger. The art is amazing, some of the best I have seen in a comic.
The arts remain very good, the story improves a little.
In this book we meet a new teen with special powers named Ohara. She as an interesting addition to the story. Rori and Shirai are presumed dead (but possibly just missing) after what happened in the first book. That leaves Ayane (the car girl) and Nikaido (emotion manipulating boy) on their own to fight the evil Yokai that seem to be getting more and more prevalent.The whole thing comes to a head when Ohara, Ayane, and Nikaido form an unlikely alliance and finally decide to take action to cut of...
Good follow up to the first volume. I like the introduction of new characters and the solving of some mysteries.
A new viewpoint character, and the plot gets ramped way up in this volume.
As in in first volume the plot takes us to places we already met in 1000 other stories. It's done okay I guess, but misses the point completely.The story itself take place in japan, but you could easily move it to America and not change a thing. It's only in japan because the writer wanted to use Japanese mythology, the rest of it feels American.I'll keep on reading, mostly because it's not so bad, and I've already started, but also cause I bought the whole series already on a whim.
Everything the first one was...but fuller. Which is a good thing, everything is more fleshed out now and I have a better idea of where things are headed.The art is still FANTASTIC and overall the whole vibe of the book is exactly what I am in the mood for. A nice YA feeling, slightly manga(ish), character adventure.
I had read the first volume again before starting.Cliffhanger ending aside there are lots of stuff going on in these graphic novels.Story keeps my eyes glued to the pages and I love reading the articles at the end. Japanese mythology is relatively unknown to me and I loved the feeling of discovery!
I love everything about this book. Great art and coloring. Great story. It's basically Buffy in Japan. Zub has done a great job of bringing Japanese mythology to life and creating an engaging story.
