Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Vol. 2 (2)

Great read 👍 get like the last volume

In the second installment of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, we reach the end of the Kyuso arc and starts the first really exciting part: the Gyuki arc. This is the point in the manga that really got me absorbed in the story and sucked me into the fandom. I get chills when Rikuo transforms into his night form and the couple times it happens in this novel is very awe-inspiring, just like his night form.The second installment also reveals something about how the novels will be produced. When you put the covers of the first and second book together, it connects into one picture, making it seem like the covers of all the books will connect in some way to make one long picture. My assumption is that it is supposed to look like the Night Parade. I can't wait for the next book!

Love this manga eventually going to buy all volumes . The story of yakuza and yokai combined is just awesome

Reason for Reading: Next in the series.This book isn't quite as good as the first one, being much shorter and taking place mostly away from the Yokai Clan's house. Only a handful of the enormous cast introduced in volume one is carried over into this volume as main characters, with small cameo spots from some others. Story wise the plot is wrapped up from book one with the rat-like yokai Kyuso clan. Now the Gyuki clan are after Nura. He goes along with his friends as they go into the mountains where Kiyotsugu, the wealthy boy, and head of the "Paranormal Patrol" takes them to his family's lavish home. Here they leave the girls in the hot springs while they go exploring for yokai. Of course Nura is just along to make sure no one gets hurt. The Gyuki clan plan to wipe them all out then Gyuki himself will take out Nura. Lots of battling and excitement follow along with humour. There are some tense moments and what Gyuki's actual plan *is*, reveals itself at the end as he goads Nura on. Great series with humour, action, great characters and a never ending supply of 'bad guys'. Ending mid-action, the wait for vol. 3 is close enough (June) to keep me excited.
