This volume had me gripping my clothes because of the anticipation and excitement.

Character development is already working. Action scenes are good and that art style, beautiful as always.

Really can’t wait to read the next volume as this volume is a really good cliffhanger tbh.

This was a great second volume!

Something that I really appreciate about this series, which I failed to mention in my last review, is that Tabata gives the audience each Black Bulls member's conflict as they're introduced. Rather than draw out struggles until the big reveal several chapters down the line, Tabata lets the reader in on the inner struggles of the Black Bulls members. I honestly really like this because establishing a conflict early gives the story more time to show their struggles as well as their development. Noelle is a perfect example of this and I'm already super invested in her character because her conflict was introduced when she was and now I get to see her grow from the start.

As far as characters go, I'm still having a blast with the Black Bulls and I LOVED the teamwork sections of both missions. It's cool watching someone be a badass on their own, it's fucking EPIC watching them be badasses as a group.

I love the fights, I love the art, I love the characters/ character interactions, I just love everything. I'm so glad I gave this series a chance!

I like the way this series is developing. The relationship between Asta and Yuno is an interesting one, and I think the action and the magic system are both pretty good.

~3-3.5/5

Asta and his teammates are finishing up a battle as this volume starts, and they do much better than anyone expected of a bunch of misfits. And because of this, their leader gives them a difficult job in a newly discovered dungeon.

The dungeon has some interesting challenges for them, plus they’re competing to reach the prize first. Asta runs into Yuno here, and even though they’re rivals, they’re also friends. They know how to fight for each other and to fight each other when they have to, and they inspire the other to work even harder. It’s an interesting change of events as the volume ends.

There’s also a very cheesy moment with one of Asta’s teammates here, and it was done very over the top and even rushed, even if I do like the sentiment.

I do like the cast of characters here. Luck is very interesting, and I like Noelle and her hard shell. This is an interesting series, and I don’t mind it even if I don’t love it.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
