Omg.. my heart.
Wayward, you are getting crazy, calm down. I just wanted to read about magic high schoolers, not fantastic genocide.
Primarily moves to Ireland for some Druidic gods equivalent (more or less) to the Japanese Yokai. I feel like it could have done more with it, though. That's generally how I feel about this entire series. It's just on the brink of being great, but never gets there. The art is fantastic though.
Apparently we are now adding Irish mythology into the mix, trying to take this in what looks to be eventually a global conspiracy of old gods vs new. A fine idea in theory but they really need to up their game to make it work because now it's just looking more and more like a poor man's version of American Gods, which is doubly unfortunate considering there is an actual American Gods comic running now in addition to the new TV show. Also at least American Gods makes sense in that the new gods ar...
My suspicion that the shift in location to Ireland would spell trouble for this series proves sadly right. Wayward has previously worked by showing mythological creatures and concepts at play in an urban environment - not exactly a new idea, but attractively done, with entertaining characters and a rich range of myths to draw on. Adding Celtic mythology for a kind of folkloric fusion cuisine might work, but Wayward's idea of Ireland feels embarassingly pre-modern and blarney-tastic, and its take...
Rori's dad has teleported Rori and Ayane from Japan to Ireland. So know we get to delve into Irish mythology and it's grand. Each issue begins with a flashback to Dermot and Sanae's (Rori's parents) blossoming romance. Incredibly slowly, Dermot begins to tell Rori what is going on. Meanwhile, the rest of our cast in Japan are on the run.The first issue does have an incredibly frustrating scene where Dermot sneaks off and talks to one of the Fomoire in Gaelic. Here's a rough translation from Goog...
Another solid adventure. This time we get more background on who Rori's father is. This fills in the gaps on why she can do what she can do but also helps build a grand world of magic and demons. Then we get little time with our other heroes, and they aren't doing too hot. Last but not least this adventure ends on a sad note as one of our main characters bites the dust. The brisk pace and solid to fun dialogue makes this a easy read. It helps that the world is colorful and so are the characters....
Wayward Vol 4 is a transitional volume. Rory has been taken to Ireland by her dad and bits of her parents' history is revealed. Celtic folklore is introduced and the series takes a global turn. Unfortunately, not much actually happens because the book needs time to introduce the concepts. There is a rather distressing character death though, so prepare for loss. The last page of the book made me unbearably sad :( There are short glimpses at what is happening in Japan as well, so readers are not
The change in scenery in this volume was refreshing, and it was fun to see Rori come up against some new supernatural forces in Ireland. The background on Irish folklore and the pronunciation guides in the back were welcome as always.
Well, that wasn't fair. I'm the one crying.Seriously, this series is great.
Why do they always win, there are losses but they still always win. :c
My least favorite so far. Full ofConfusing info dumps. I still loveThe story and characters though and am hopeful the next volumes will build upon and bring together allllll the random strings introduced in this volume.
