Prelim Review: This volume rocks because SHIBA is introduced. SHIBA who is all 'Eh life' and 'WHY ARE YOU NOT MAKING THIS FIGHT TO THE DEATH MORE INTERESTING FOR ME??' he's just as much fun as he was when I first read this. Shito's jealousy is way downplayed here though (its up-played in the anime) so that was interesting and Chika is just so adorable.

This does not make Shito, Chika or Michiru any more likeable (though Chika comes close)--but I enjoyed the mystery behind it. Even if I did know the end result (sadly).

Following up from my previous review on Vol 1. Volume 2 has added a handful of new characters, and the previous ones are given more insight on how they are, who they were, and on the terms of how their situation has affected them. It HAS gotten a bit more interesting and has me turning the pages to find out what happens next, and what kind of grossness (I don't often see gore/graphic scenes) am I going to see on the next page.
On to Volume 3. ( )
