I loved this one so much more than the fist. The story in this volume was so good. The macabre was a great mix of gory and story. There was no sexualization at all. Phanora is definitely an intriguing character that I want to read more of.

At first I wasn't sure about the side quest in the volume but by the end I was like, that was cool. Violent but cool which could sum up the series so far.

Unfortunately, this book really wasn't for me. The characters aren't very interesting, the plot feels very disorganized, and I really could not figure out what direction this book was going. I don't think I would agree with the assessment that these are similar to Clamp, because I really enjoyed XXXholic.

The Undead in the Witch and the Beast universe are different from the usual zombies. They are perfect makes, a second life if you will in exchange of the "eternal damnation" of the soul. Thus, the practice of Necromancy is highly controlled and in some cities, illegal. One does not just grave rob corpses, using bodies for necromancy must be granted by the person themselves before death or close of kin. Undead must be registered, monitored and maintained by the practitioner.

And in this volume, we have a Necromancer who has broken the rules of Necromancy. Causing a surge of stray zombies rampaging. We are introduced to another pair from the order, Phanora and Johan. Whom specializes in Necromancy and the Undead. And I got to be honest, I like them more than Ashaf and Guideau.
